I'm afraid you're right, (4) is the only decent option. Which I hate, since it likely means that over time systems will be cluttered with services (which mine already are, by far). &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Other comments:&lt;br&gt;(1) Could cause a lot of duplication as well, if you used multiple applications from the bank. But this makes me wonder... Is what they are putting in the shared directory really something that should be shared? Are you using multiple bank applications?&lt;br&gt;(2) You're right. I don't think I'd even consider this option, since it adds a layer of complexity to the app that I doubt is justified.&lt;br&gt;(3) No!!!!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Maybe this calls for a shared service that an app could enroll in for updates?
