Application Updater Block - Won't start new version

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.config 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.
