I have been stuck on this for a number of days now and am feeling somewhat frustrated as this feature should be an out of the box feature that works...

My problem,
I have created a test app which should work with automatic updates using the WD HTTP Setup... I have no problem creating the setup and installing it on the server with Microsoft IIS.... Once installed the page is created and I am given the following link to download the client application... http://192.168.0.100/Test Project Updates/ I then am able to download and install the application without a problem on the client machine.. However this is where the problem comes in.. The automatic update doesnt not work at all....

I then compile the server install again, but this time with udpates and the incremented version no. I install this on the server without any problems and it shows in the WDUPDATE.NET (C:\Program Files (x86)\Test Project Updates\INSTALL) file that the new version is on the Server... This is what the contents of the file contains on the server...

However when the client application is run, no automatic update is proposed and when within the app the auto update command is run the app hangs for a few seconds and then does nothing....

Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated!!

Kind Regards,
