An alternative to Tore's suggestion - quite similar in many respects - is to have several copies of the executable, on the shared folder of your server: MyApp-0001.exe, MyApp-0002.exe, etc.
The loader program will check which is the latest version, and run it (note: by running it directly from the server, the application will take longer to start - but I didn't find this to be a problem).
You can also have a version of the loader program that allows the user to select an older EXE. This is useful in case your latest EXE doesn't work correctly - while you do emergency repairs, the users can use an older version that works.
