C# Auto Update utility for c# programs

14
Hello,
I try to find how I can add update form that will download a newer version of my application and overwrite the old one.

the problem is that I cannot overwrite the installed file as it is being used,
how can I solve this problem ?

Thanks.

There are a few solutions available for this online...
I am also interested in doing a similar thing.
What i think needs to be done is that the application has to chack if there is a new version...
if a new version is available then start a service (which will download it and run it), and closes itself so that the service downloads it.
