Martin,
What it sounds like you really want to know about is auto-deployment. This is basically built in to the .NET framework. I haven't read the entire thing, but Hector Correa wrote an article in CoDe magazine about how to do this and we utilize these concepts in our application as well. Check out his article at:

>Good morning! I have an application which I am constantly updating and place on a network folder. All users are running a local copy of the application. What I would like to happen, is for the local application to check the verion of the application on the network folder and advice the users that a newer version is available. I know how to check for the verion of the running application, but how do I check for the verion of the executable that is stored on the network folder?
