Using the code

I wrote a simple console application in c# to accomplish this task

In the Program.cs itself I wrote the code to check updates and then executed the updated application

Collapse | Copy Code

using System.Collections.Generic;using System.Diagnostics;using System.IO;using System.Linq;using System.Text;using System.Threading.Tasks;namespace ShipitIntro{    class Program    {        static void Main(string[] args)        {         //updatepath is the location where I upload updated exe             string UpdatePath = @"\\testserver\Art\ship it\Shipit.exe";          //applocation is the location from where this console app runs.It will also be the location where the new file will be saved             string AppLocation = Directory.GetCurrentDirectory() + @"\shipit.exe";                                          try            {                FileInfo info1 = null;                FileInfo info2 = null;                if (File.Exists(UpdatePath))                {              //If there is a file in the update location info1 will get the fileinfo of that file                     info1 = new FileInfo(UpdatePath);                }                if (File.Exists(AppLocation))                {//if the exe is already present in the aplocation get its information also                    info2 = new FileInfo(AppLocation);                }                else                {                    File.Copy(UpdatePath, AppLocation, true);                    ExecuteApp(AppLocation);                    return;                }                if (info1.LastWriteTime > info2.LastWriteTime)                {                    File.Copy(UpdatePath, AppLocation, true);                }            }            catch (Exception ex)            {                Debug.WriteLine(ex.Message);            }            ExecuteApp(AppLocation);        }        static void ExecuteApp(string location)        {            if (File.Exists(location))            {                try                {                    Process.Start(location);                }                catch (Exception ex)                {                    Debug.WriteLine(ex.Message); return;                }            }            else            {                           }        }           }}

 The  function executeApp() will help in starting the exe from the location .thus it makes sure that the user always use the latest exe
