VB.NET/No-Touch: Resource Files (such as word documents)
I am creating a VB.NET application and deploying it using the No-Touch method. I have a word document that can change from time to time that I need to make available to my VB.NET application.
Is there a way to get the VB.NET application to download the file at launch time so its in the assembly\download folder, for when my application needs it?
I cannot make this an embedded resource, because it changes.

iboutchkine,
The download option worked and I am going to be awarding you the points.
One last question before I close out here -- is there a way to determine whether something is being run via a no-touch method or via the network?

The first thing that comes to my mind is to check the existance of the exe file on th elocal hard drive. If it is not there then it runs via no-touch
