I know this is a very old question, but I recently used a super simple technique that can be of use to others.

For deployment, I put the front-end (FE) database (can be MDE, MDB or accdb, works with any type) in a shared folder, along with a small batch file wich copies the FE to the user's %TEMP% folder.
Then I deploy only the .bat file on each user's desktop.
This way, every time a user starts the app, a fresh copy of the FE is copied locally and started.
For upgrades, I only have to put the new FE in the shared folder. This also removes the need for regularly compacting of the FE!
