What do you do if that computer is:
1) offline
-or-
2) currently using that .exe you are dropping in a replacement for
?
What's the problem with making a loader program for your app that:
1) checks with the server for the latest version and if different:
2) copies the new version on top of the old and
3) executes it
That way everyone stays updated with minimal work by the admin.
Oh yeah, my experience with Windows shortcuts mirrors yours. They are
super-painful to do anything remotely useful with once outside of the
things Microsoft intended them to be used for, which is pretty narrow. I
was going to suggest symlinks but my experience with those on Windows is
pretty frazzled, too.
