I've used TwebUpdate for many years with many programs that I have developed - love its simplicity and reliability.
However one of my users (using Win7) has a strange problem. When my program tries to do the update they get my message saying it is looking for an update and then nothing happens and eventually my program starts normally with no update being done.
I believe either the initial inf file containing latest version info is not being downloaded or the cab file is coming down but not being uncompressed. I guess this is a win7 issue.
Interestingly, if I send him a password protected zipped setup file instead then windows refuses to open it saying the Internet security settings do not allow it.
He has tried turning off the AV and firewall with no effect.
Anyone any ideas what I should suggest to him?
Based on this information, it indeed looks like something interferes with downloads.
To try to get some more information, could you set WebUpdate.Logging = true and send the generated log file so we can inspect that to see what is happening exactly?
I could try but that would mean recompiling the program and uploading an update for my user to download - which he can't do!
Well, you would indeed have to find an alternative way to get the debugging app to the customer.
