Keeping a console application that will be ran using Task Scheduler updated
===

I have a solution with a Web Application, Console Application (and Windows Service, but that's probably for another question).

Publishing and keeping the Web Application up-to-date is easy. I simply right-click `Publish` to publish initially or update the live version.

----------
Currently to "publish" or update a console application I copy the release exe and files over to the live machine. In this way I can use the task manager to run the exe in the copied location.

This smacks of bad practice to me. The problem with doing a right-click, `Publish` on the console app is there's no easy way for the task scheduler to launch the exe. Additionally i'm not sure what would happen when it came to updating the application. Would the "An update is available" screen just sit there waiting for a user to click ok??

**What is the best way of easily publishing and keeping a console application up to date?**  
Ideally something I only have to do from Visual Studio (2008). I'll need to be able to set up task scheduler and then forget about it (no need to do anything with task scheduler or click through anything when updating).
