I've never done this in Rev, but have in other languages
on Windows.

What I did was to execute a shell command to run a utility
program (the updater) followed by an application close
command (exit, quit).  Then the updater ran, updates the
executable (stand alone) and then executes a shell command
to run the real program (now updated) before automatically
closing itself (exit, quit).
