Tony Toews (MVP) has a website on which he provides an Auto FE Updater for
download:

Other approaches are available on searching, but this gives you an idea of
how it can be done.

who didn't allow binaries (.exe's) on their servers. In fact they had a
program that would periodically go through and "scrub" them away. Took
awhile to realize that's why the updater files needed frequent replacing.

Ended up rolling my own variation based on ideas gathered from the links
from your site. Final product uses only .mdb/.mde's, which doesn't seem to
bother the client's bots, at least so far...
MDBs contain code so can .docs and .xlss and they'll be deleted.
