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.
