How do I send a message telling the App to shut itself ?
How do I send a win32 terminating message?

Maybe easier:<br />
Have the app (once it notices the newer version) shell out a small app designed just for this transfer and end itself. The small app should now download the new exe. Once the it is downloaded, shell it and have the small app end itself.<br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I would like my Application to check, every time it runs, if there's a newer version of it on the company's intranet, and if there is a newer version, it should replace itself with the new version. (Download the new EXE app version, and replace the old EXE file).<br />
If there's a new version, it should terminate itself and run the new version.<br />
Next time the APP runs, the new EXE file should run.<br />
<br />
I can deal with checking for a new version, and downloading it via HTTP.<br />
But, how do I replace the EXE file which is now running with a newer version? Is it a safe thing to do ? How can I do it in another way, if not? (I want the EXE replaced, not to just D/L and run it each time).<br />

Updating the Application's  EXE file

A programming language is a formal constructed language designed to communicate instructions to a machine, particularly a computer. Thousands of different programming languages have been created, mainly in the computer field, and many more still are being created every year. The description of a programming language is usually split into the two components of syntax (form) and semantics (meaning). Some languages are defined by a specification document (for example, the C programming language is specified by an ISO Standard), while other languages (such as Perl) have a dominant implementation that is treated as a reference. Some languages have both, with the basic language defined by a standard and extensions taken from the dominant implementation being common.

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
