Jeremy,

I am surprised it worked on any OS. We do something very similar to John, for an even more important reason - updating workstations automatically for al lexes and dlls.

Hi All. I am sure I have seen this mentioned before, but I has as part of an app. the ability to auto update. part of the update process is, it needs to rename the current running app. to .old. this this fin under win2K onwards, but on winnt and win98, it throws an error.

Is there a work around? I did a search on Google, but not a lot came back....but that could have been how I was searching too.
