That would put too much strain on the server - downloading entire versions instead of only the necessary parts. The version could be hard-coded in the main executable so the program knows what current version the game is (and not in a separate .txt file where it could be modified with possibly unpredictable consequences).
Now that i think of it, an update function might be beneficial for the server itself- instead of everyone downloading the complete program, only the updated and new parts are downloaded, saving bandwidth and increasing download speeds.
This might be even implemented as another button in the main menu, a sort of seamless update.
Note #1: Even if the update program itself was updating, it would simply copy the new version to a temporary location, then transfer control from the old program into the temporary one, then delete the old program. Then it would and make a copy of itself with the same name and in the same place as the old program, then transfer control from the temp. program into the newly copied one, then finally erasing the temp. copy. All this after updating every other component. So it would be completely automatic.
Note #2: You could also add a "Modifications" button somewhere in the menus where you could download various mods uploaded somewhere, though this is less important.
