Replace running exe

[Tomexx]

Hi,
I have this program running on a network drive. At any time several users can be running the program on their computers from that network location.

Problem is that every now and then I need to replace the exe with a new version but since the program might be opened on some user's computer, Windows won't let me do it.

How can I override my exe with a new version or shut down all running programs?

Probably isn't the best solution in the first place if you frequently update this program. I don't think it is possible at all to overwrite it while in use.

You should have it installed individually on each PC. Have the program check each time it starts up for a new version on the server, if it is new, run a small update app or batch file and then have it automatically relaunch the main app.
