Updating a single file solution

June 17, 201015 yr

Does anyone have what they feel is a good way to push updates to customers and then import data into their new current file? I'm looking for a non-runtime and non-separation model solution.

One of the things that I'm trying to overcome here is to allow the user to have a shortcut to one, seemingly unchanging file.

What comes to mind is:

- Have the actual solution in a second/related file named by the build number such as 1234.fp7

- Name the file that the user will actually launch using the solutions name (mySolution.fp7)

With that as a start, the though is to be able to provide an update using a different filename so the user can maintain a link to one file while having two application files at once allowing the data to be imported from the old to the new using a reasonably smooth interface.

If anyone could fill in the blanks or is doing something else, it would be great to learn.

Thanks.
