Application Updater Block problem!!

I am attempting to use the Application Updater block so that I can have
my
..net windows forms application automatically update when a new version
is
available.

I have deployed version 1.0.0.0 to the user machine.
I have created version 1.0.0.1, and put this on the update server

I am trying to build a self updating application (started using the
appstart
application as in the samples given).

I have managed to get it working to the point where it picks up the new
version and downloads it. It then asks the user if they wish to start
the new
version, and if you say yes, it exits out of the application and
restarts -
but it restarts the same (old) version again.

I expected that it would change the appstart.exe.co nfig file to point
to the
new version, but this doesn't get changed!!! And yet somewhere (I can't
work
out where) it registers that the new version has been downloaded, as it
doesn't try to download it again.

Can anyone help me out with this? I have been looking at this for 2
days
now, and it is starting to drive me insane!!!!

Thanks in advance.

Hello Everyone, I have an application that uses the application updater block V2. The application is launched using an appStart assembly first. Everything has been working great for a few weeks now, until last night when I added reports to the manifest. I cannot for the life of me determine what is going on. I am using the Bits Downloader Provider to update my files. I have created text files and given them the name of the report...

Does anyone ACTUALLY have the application updater block working? I've been beating my head against the wall on this one for about 3 days. It looks cool. It seems promising. I've even read this guy's blog entry about how to implement it (http://weblogs.asp.net/duncanma/articles/10221.aspx) and how breath takingly simple it is to actually get it done. Damned if I can get it to work.

I followed the tutorial here: http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/vanillaupdaterblock.asp My application runs, asks me if I want the new update, I click yes, the evenlog lists the download progress, it completes, it asks me to restart the app to use the new version, I do so but the new version never gets installed. I followed the tutorial exactly, and even had to do some additional steps to get where I am now by following the setup...

I have an application that I need to deploy using SMS - I can't use ClickOnce. I'd like to be able to make that application update itself, rather than going through the palaver of SMS updates. Under 1.1, there was the Application Updater Block. I'm going to be using .NET 2.0 - I've done loads of searches and am struggling to find anything useful.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
