I'm currently using a Launcher that checks for differences in VFP6R.DLL and VFP6RENU.DLL and then updates them, but because the Launcher uses these DLL's to run, then the update cannot be carried out unless the DLL's are in the same directory as the Launcher.

I think a batch file might be the only way.

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.
