Shozo,
Exactly how do you use the manifest file for this situation? Let's say
I deploy an application that consists of one .exe and 2 .dlls. Now I
have an update to make to one of the .dlls. It seems like the updater
application block is geared towards updates to the main .exe only. How
can the manifest file be set up so that only the updated .dll is
downloaded but the rest of the files that were orignally installed
remain?

Thanks,
Matt Shipman
