Гораздо проще использовать ярлык для запуска приложения, каждый раз получая свежую копию из сетевой папки распространения. В современной сети это занимает секунду или около того, и у пользователя всегда будет обновленная и не раздутая копия.
Все, что вам нужно, это скрипт. Я написал один раз полную статью о том, как справиться с этим даже в среде Citrix:
Развертывание и обновление приложения Microsoft Access в среде Citrix
Скрипт устанавливает две копии интерфейса. Это может вам не понадобиться, поэтому вы можете немного сократить сценарий:
