I have written an app which operates a database accross a network VB6 and Access. I am constantly upgrading the software which means going to all machines on which the app is installed and copying the new EXE file from a flash drive onto each machine.
Because these machines are all on a common network and communicate with a common database I was hoping that each machine could upgrade its own exe file by copying a later version from the server onto a designated directory on the users own machine.
This could easily be done with FileCopy My question is :
Is there any way in VB6 to compare the 2 Exe files and only if the exe file on the server is a later version then the FileCopy will take place if the file is the same then no copy will occur?
