Question Updating Shared Drive App

[Tom]

I have an app running from a shared network drive. The problem I’m having is updating/replacing the exe while it’s in use. I remember in pre-.net days I used to be able boot all the users by deleting right from the server but been unable to do so currently. I’m wondering if there is another way to force this or a 3rd party utility that could be used to kill the user processes. Just seems impossible to actually get everyone off the app no matter how many requests I send around the company…
