Auto and uptodate deployment

Hiya,

I'm sure this has been covered before, but I can't find the right words to
narrow down a search, so my apologies for asking what may be a common
question.

In short I have an application that has one EXE and several DLL's.

What I want to achieve is some kind of notification and automatic update if
a user is using a DLL that is older than the one on our server.

We have about 900 users, all using the EXE, and I do appreciate that there
may be bandwidth issues if all users, say, load their local version of the
application, are notified of a new DLL and then that DLL is downloaded, but I
can cover this later once I've learnt the basics.

IF anyone has any tips or URL's, I'd REALLY appreciate it.

Many thanks,
.
