Using the code
I wrote a simple console application in c# to accomplish this task
In the Program.cs itself I wrote the code to check updates and then executed the updated application
Collapse | Copy Code
using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Diagnostics; using System.IO; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.Threading.Tasks; namespace ShipitIntro { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { //updatepath is the location where I upload updated exe string UpdatePath = @"\\testserver\Art\ship it\Shipit.exe"; //applocation is the location from where this console app runs.It will also be the location where the new file will be saved string AppLocation = Directory.GetCurrentDirectory() + @"\shipit.exe"; try { FileInfo info1 = null; FileInfo info2 = null; if (File.Exists(UpdatePath)) { //If there is a file in the update location info1 will get the fileinfo of that file info1 = new FileInfo(UpdatePath); } if (File.Exists(AppLocation)) { //if the exe is already present in the aplocation get its information also info2 = new FileInfo(AppLocation); } else { File.Copy(UpdatePath, AppLocation, true); ExecuteApp(AppLocation); return; } if (info1.LastWriteTime > info2.LastWriteTime) { File.Copy(UpdatePath, AppLocation, true); } } catch (Exception ex) { Debug.WriteLine(ex.Message); } ExecuteApp(AppLocation); } static void ExecuteApp(string location) { if (File.Exists(location)) { try { Process.Start(location); } catch (Exception ex) { Debug.WriteLine(ex.Message); return; } } else { } } } }
The function executeApp() will help in starting the exe from the location .thus it makes sure that the user always use the latest exe
