I have a similar system except that the .exe resides on the workstation and the server. When the app is started it actually runs the loader first which checks the version number of the local exe and the server exe. If the server exe is newer then it copies it across to the workstation which means that it is only copied when necessary instead of every time.

I have a general purpose "Loader" app that loads the .exe from the server onto the local workstation in a pre-defined folder and runs it. This means
that
updating the .exe on the server is simple as you are sure that it is never
open
by anyone. In addition I can send the loader instructions to unload the
local
.exe if there is a workstation server update due. It unloads the local
"exe"
and sits waiting for a signal to upload the newer updated .exe off the
server.
And it has saved hors of trouble finding out who has the application open
on
the network.
