Hi, Claudio.

What about autoapdating the application (much like MSN Messenger tells you when a new version and let you update it right in the moment.

If you like the idea, check this article from Rick Strahl:
http://www.west-wind.com/presentations/wwCodeUpdate/codeupdate.asp

I used this mechanism succesfully in a project, and it was very easy to implement. Indeed, you can take the idea and adapt it to your needs.


Best luck,
