Same thing with swapping out fxps that have just a vfp mtdll stub, which turns out to be the best way to do this with vfp mtdlls called from asp.net..

> With ASP.NET if I update my applications I copy files to the server - that's it. The first time I need to create virtual, but after that it's true XCOPY deployment, nor are any special rights required for the code to run.

>For example, in my Fox Web Connection apps on the server I have a build routine that automatically FTP's the updated EXE to the server and hotswaps it while the server is running. The whole process takes about 2 minutes and hte Web server is never down, and the application is unresponsive for about 2-3 seconds. The code that does this is about 20 lines most of which deals with authentication issues. But you have to know how to do this (although we actually ship instructions and examples exactly on doing this - but of course few actually read it!)
