I've setup a test app that uses the updater app block. The AppStart runs and
can identify that there is an update available. Some data is pulled down and
placed in a single file in 'Program Files\AppName\UAB\registry'. The file
name is "efa3041f-5615-41d1-99bb-ed458577015c.task", it contains data from my
manifest file.

What's going on? Shouldnt there be a new directory (named 1.0.0.1) and the
new executable placed in it?

Use Fiddler http://www.fiddlertool.com to trace the http requests the
UAB makes when getting your update.

I am guessing that you may need to configure IIS to allow you exe file
to be downloaded since that is not enabled by default.

I am not downloading from IIS, I will be downloading from a shared location
on a server. I am thinking that my config files (app.config,
updaterconfiguration.config, app_manifest.xml) are not correct. I hope I can
find an example of those config files setup for an application that is
donwloading from a share on a server. And I'll need to know what to change
in the manifest when I publish a new version to the share.

All help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Henry
