Have you looked at the ClickOnce technology? This is automatically built-in to either

1) not check for updates
2) check for updates before the application starts or
3) check for updates after the application finishes.

It’s a great way to circumvent your issues, and it’s easy to implement.

Or if you want to manually do this, utilize the System.Reflection namespace and use the Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().Version property to get the application’s version. Then do whatever conditional comparison you need to do to see if that’s the newest version, and if not then update the application.
