I experimented with a similar thing, but I used a wee app. I helped to
develop that actually created a PATCH file (normally only a few K)and setup
the registry on the client machine to associate the file extension I
assigend to the patch file to run with the wee app that implemented the
patch.
The advantage with this was, I could email the client a patch, and they just
ran the patch from their email, and it was al done.
This could still work in your case by writing a wee app that had the patch
file in it as part of a resource file, and this app. did all the opening and
closing of the app you wantot update etc.
Hope this helps, and if you want the code for the patch program, let me
know.
Cheers,
Jeremy Coulter
