I have been trying to use .NET updater block by pointing to local (or
shared) drive in config's <server><xmlFile> element instead of using
an IIS URL. Unfortunately I could not make it work. Is there any way
to use the Updater .NET block without IIS ? The error I was getting
(with the sample Console application) :

[DownloaderManager.IsServerManifestDownloaded] :
The metadata file (the Server Manifest) can't be downloaded for
the application 'ConsoleTest1'.
        Either the manifest is unavailable (check download URL in Updater
config file), the downloader failed, or
        the Manifest failed validation.
ERROR: Exception from HRESULT: 0x8020000F.

You are using the BITSDownloader which will use IIS. You must configure
your application to use the UNCDownloader which can be found in the
QuickStart examples source directory:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Application Blocks for
..NET\Updater\Original-Code\VB\Quickstart--FlexPoints\UNCDownloader.vb

Take the UNCDownloader.vb file and create your own custom downloader library
assembly. Read the help file regarding creating a custom downloader.
Essentially include the VB file in an library project and build your
assembly. Then use your assembly in the configuration of the UAB in your
App.config:

<appUpdater>

<UpdaterConfiguration>

<!-- Check the server every 20 minutes for a new release of the
application. -->

<polling type="Seconds" value="1200" />

<logListener logPath="C:\Program Files\<Appdir>\UpdaterLog.txt" />

<!-- **************** UNC DOWNLOADER **************** -->

<downloader type="MyAssembly.UNCDownloader"
assembly="MyAssembly,Version=1.0.0.0,Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=null"/>

....

Definitely, play with the QuickStarts to get a feel for the UAB. Good luck.

Thanks,

Sam
