Hi
I didn't know you could rename an file currently in use. I wonder
if that works with Dlls as well. Anyway I am sure there is a way
but I have actually pretty much solved my issue (which was have a
running app update itself) using a similar method.
This is a general overview of the solution...
1) Download new version with '_UPD' filename.
2) Close and run '_UPD' version.
3) UPD version then copies itself over normal file, closes and runs
normal file
Thanks

I have to say that I'm lazy and rename an inuse file
and then create the file that has the name I want. Then I clean up
the _old.??? later down the track after a reboot etc. That way
(for exes) the new file is available to anyone without a reboot..
I'd like to know of the feature too if anyone has seen it,
for curiosity sake.

Hi all
I remember there was a simple way to tell windows (I think
it was a copy
command) that on the next reboot file x should be replaced
with new
version of file x. I did a quick search but didn't see it
(there is
something the Microsoft mentions but it is not officially
supported and
involves editing a ini file (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/139086)
).
I just wondered if anyone here knows what it is :)
Thanks
Rob
