"We have a total of 4 application servers, all running the executable, so if we need
to update the executable all we would need to do is disable logons on one of the servers
and maybe give it about a day for any existing active sessions to disconnect. If you
have a process that will upgrade without interrupting any active sessions or the service
we can certainly give that a test."
This is from the IT staff. It takes basically four days to update the
application and in the past they neglected to update one of the servers and it
caused problems. That's why I used one executable with hooks in it so I can
modify the external routines when necessary.

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.

Jeff,
Vague recollection of Citrix when it was discussed many years ago.
The server needs to be put into Install mode, the EXE registered, then put
back into Production mode. This is a security measure? An EXE that is not
registered will not run on the users hosted desktop? Or is the need to
register it that multiple users are able to run it at the same time?
