I know you are not asking for alternatives, but I would suggest the following:
1) Build a version number in the local file- either a local table, or in
the case of SQL projects, build it as a shared variable value in a module.
2) Have a linked table or SQL table store the "current" software version
number.
3) On start of application, have it look up the "current" value and compare
to the stored value.
4) If stored value < lookup value, give dialog box allowing the user to update.
5) If they choose to update, shell to .bat file and quit app. Bat file
(after pause confirmation) copies new source to destination.
