I use the modified version of the Launcher program from Edward Leafe article in January 97 FoxPro Advisor ("Launch Updates of Your Application Automatically"). Small .EXE (around 100 Kb with its own screen)launches main APP file.
All I do - just compile the new APP file to some directory on the network along with the new README.TXT file. Launcher takes care of everything. It also shows the README file with information about the new version (with usual option "Don't show this information next time"), and locks users from running APP if I do some maintenance work. My configuration is that .EXE is run from the network and .APP file is copied to the workstation.

HTH,

Nick
