I have an application on Terminal Services at a large company. I have

work but I was wondering if there isn't a better more organised way to
update an executable running on several application servers.

Jeff,
A loader application.
It would copy the required files from a common store to a user path, then
launch the executable in the user path, then exit.
The loader application will only be in use when a user is starting the
application.
The files in the common store should never be in use.
Yes, the executable and required files will be copied all over the place,
but there is a mechanism that updates them on the fly.

I use a loader for all of my apps, but this application uses Citrix and
the application is actually running on the application servers and not
the desktop. In order to swap out the executable they need to shut down
the service, swap the executable and start it up again. I currently
have an executable that has hooks out to apps, classes & procedures that
I can swap out without replacing the main executable. It seems to work
fine, but I was wondering if there was a better way.
