Sorry but i can't understand what you need, do you need to update your program, when someone runs it?

i am thinking the person wants to know if the exe has been compiled and there is an update, how would it be applied?

[noielen]

your app is just a stand alone or with server?

[nkad]

Is "updation" even a word?

[Andrew G]

What do you need to update?

I have done something similiar in the past, but you are not going to be able to do it with your project .exe because using that would mean that it is executing, or open, when it did the compare. If an update was available, then it would have to copy the new exe and replace the old. The problem is that you can't replace a running .exe with a new copy of itself.

You would need to build a second program whose soul purpose in life would be to do the comparison and if a new version was available, delete the old and copy the new to its application project path.
