Updater Application Block V2.0

I am trying to find a good tutorial on how to use this verison of the
updater block so I can incorporate it into my projects. I have tried to use
the documentation with some success, however most examples are in C# and
make some big assumptions. Here is what I am after:

1. How to use Updater in my programs (references, code, etc...)
2. How to set up a manifest.
3. How to set up Updater for each project
4. Code samples for VB.
5. How to use the enterprise library configuration tool.

Any help is much appreciated.

Hello Everyone, I have an application that uses the application updater block V2. The application is launched using an appStart assembly first.

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 am looking for a way to distrubute my client application. Once I distrubute my application, I will want it to automatically update itself. I will put the new files on the webserver. I have seen examples of this on the web. But none of them are good. Does anyone know any resource where I an get the source code that is pretty much fully working? Thanks, Mark

Can somebody either post or put up a link that uses the Updater Application Block? I apparently am doing something wrong and can't figure it out. I call updater.BeginDownload with my manifests, it downloads the manifests, I activate the manifests and the programs don't get updated. The stuff that is done on the MS pages about the application block are of no help because they list all the events for an asynch download but not what to do...

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,...
