That what I thought... But I hoped there would be an easier way... So now I have to create a launcher then.

Thanks!

>You need a "laucher", a EXE who only purpose is to check if there is a newer version of the main EXE on the server and copy it if newer then lauch the "real" EXE. Of course, you have to make the laucher strong enough so that you don't have to update it...
>When I start my program I let the main .exe file look into a directory to see if any of my .app files has been updated, and if copy the new version to the running directory. The problem is my main .exe file. How do I do to update it? I can't just do a copy on a file that is open, so is there any way around this problem?
