Write yourself a little application that when the user opens it, it checks the version of the software locally with the version on the server. If the server copy is newer, have it copy the server version down to the local version, then fire off the local version of the application. If the version on the server is not newer, it simply launches the local version.

hm if version on local machine and server is same it run that application and if version of server and local machine is different it download latest version from server and then it run application so our manual process is reduce

Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. You do it with a separate application. Instead of opening your application directly (the one that the users need to have updated), have them open your CheckVersion application (or something similar), which either grabs the latest version then opens it, or simply opens the existing version.
