Hi!

There are no simple way for this but writing your program or batch file. You can just make it more convinient for users. For example, when user run EXE file, special startup program in that EXE checks for newer files at the server and update them. There are also tricks to update the main application EXE module automatically.After updates - just run the application, as usual.

The professional level of programmer could be determined by level of stupidity of his/her bugs

It is not appropriate to say that question is "foolish". There could be only foolish answers. Everybody passed period of time when knows nothing about something.
