Hi,

I was asked to add an auto-update feature to a VB.Net windows
application,.Basically when the application starts, it checks for if there
is an update on server, if yes do the update. I am thinking about simply
copying the updated application over existing application. Question is, the
application is running, how can I overwrite the application? Or am
completely on the wrong track?

TIA
 
Take a look at the Application Updator block.

The usual practice is to have a stub exe, that will load do the checking
update the application and reload.
