Hi All,

What are the best practices to develop a software in such a way that I can release updates, I mean I can release an update which replace the existing executable but in case I have added some new references (dlls) to the project this won't work ? Is there any way I can do it without running an MSI?

Thanks in Advance

You can always consider Clickonce Deployment as an alternative.

Thanks for replying so quickly, I have never used ClickOnce but I was under impression that it just replaces executable, anyway I will have to look at it thoroughly now.
