Since you can easily install the software in an unattended fashion from the setup EXE (and monitor results via exit codes), you could use Powershell or other scripting tools to upgrade the existing Agents - for example, by having the setup EXE in a shared folder accessible to all Agents.

You can deploy new versions of agents with VBR itself. If you don’t have a license for VBR itself, use temporary a trial license (30 days) of VBR.
