newversion.cmd replaces the re-motion assemblies in a given project for those from a new version. This tool assumes that the (PhoneBook) project's
assemblies are stored in the Remotion\net-3.5\bin\Debug subdirectory. The tool uses the unzipper 7z.exe to unpack a given Remotion_X.zip file from the Development directory on the development server.

Unfortunately, 7z.exe can't extract specific files from an archive. We must extract everything into a temporary ("scratch") directory and cherry-pick the files from the scratch\net-3.5\bin\Debug subdirectory. These files are copied to the specified project. Before copying, the specified target Remotion\net-3.5\bin\Debug sub-directory is deleted recursively.

usage

In the tools directory (or wherever), incant

newversion C:\PhoneBook-SVN 1.13.13.0

This replaces all files in C:\PhoneBook-SVN\Remotion\net-3.5\bin\Debug for the net-3.5\bin\Debug files in the Remotion_1.13.13.0.zip files.

newversion.cmd ONLY replaces the assemblies. It does not upgrade the referneces in the projects (PhoneBook.Domain, PhoneBook.Sample, PhoneBook.Web). For instruction what to do next, see Upgrading to a new re-motion version

Room for improvement

A stupid weakness is the tool's shotgun-approach to deleting files. The recursive "delete all" semantics covers the .svn directories, too. This doesn't do any harm, because these directories are write-protected. However, trying to delete the .svn directories IS scary. A more selective approach would be better.
