How do I launch a custom script during updates?

I am using VB.Net Express 2008, and would like to update a local Access database file I'm referencing in my application (i.e. "C:\[Path]...\AppDatabase.mdb")

How can I add to the update process (in addition to setup.exe) a way to automatically copy over the latest mdb file from where the application setup is saved on the network?

I'd basically like to run a simple VBScript to update this file before the application opens. It wouldn't work during the application opening, because the file is in use once the application starts.

Thanks

(Note: I just realized I could simply copy over before accessing the mdb file, but still curious if there is another option)
