Peter, That loader concept sounds interesting, and I will have look into it.
I especially like that idea of a timer/file exists/warning msg before boot! Thanks for these suggestions - much appreciate!

Hope it proves useful to you. There have been quite a few posts in the past from people who use a "loader" exe. This means the main EXE is never changes but it loads the latest version available. This could come from a parameter file or by just listing the EXE's in a folder and taking the latest one. Have a look in the archives http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox and search for specific phrase loader EXE This will mean you don't have to boot people out to load the latest version. Other options include using a timer in the main app to warn or boot people out if a certain file exists. This makes it easier to get everyone out (and keep them out) until an update is on.
