Hi,

To enable easy updates for a VB.NET Application (200 pc's in the company) I
would like to make an small Update-aplication that checks if there is a new
version of the software, and than Copies it (Copy! Not Install!!) into a new
directory on the pc, and use that application next time the user starts the
application.

I just don't know if this woudl work or not? I did some test and everything
seemed to work fine. Although I would like to be sure of that.

So Basically: The fisrt time the application si isntalled with all the
dependencies, dll's, etc etc. After that I jsut want to copy the content of
the Bin-directory to the pc.
- Will this work if I don't add new dll's?
- Will this work even when I add new dll's that weren't insalled on the
system yet?

Thanks al ot in advance,

Pieter
 
Thanks, but will it work what I intend to do?
And what about this:
- Will this work if I don't add new dll's?
- Will this work even when I add new dll's that weren't installed on the
system yet?

Use a front end loader app that just knows how to do the updates, then
Click to expand...
spawns an async process to launch your app, then quietly exits.
