"Pushing" software out can be difficult. It depends upon your particular
application. One that I have, once installed, does not need to update and
re-register DLL's, OCX's, things like that. Only the EXE changes. We use a
standard Master Control Program that is always launched and checks to see if
the current version on the local machine is the correct version by checking
a value in a SQL control table row. (Use your imagination for ways to
create a semaphore for each machine to control the update.) If the value
indicates there is a new program, the control program then copies it from
the source location and launches the program. Simple, but effective.
