If the application resides on the server, then if your upgrade program
can open the exe file with write access, then it's not in use. (That's
what I do.)

If the application resides on the individual workstations, and you
need to upgrade all of them... I suppose you could have the app open
one file on the server, and keep it open.  Then if the upgrader can
open that file with exclusive access, then no one is running the app.
