Hi,
I am working on implementing the Aplication Updater block in a VS2003
WinForms application. Using IIS on my local machine I have been able to get
it work just fine. However, now I am trying to get it working on a server
running IIS.

The app can check for updates and can download the new UpdateVersion.xml but
it looks like it is failing when it tries to download the new exe. The error
message I get is:

---------------------------
Application Update Failed
---------------------------
The auto-update of this application failed with the following error message:
Download of a new update from 'http://myserver.com/AppUpdates/2.0.0.0/'
failed with the network error: The remote server returned an error: (501)
Not Implemented.To correct this problem, try rebooting the computer &
re-launching this application.

I did find that the BITS service wasn't running on the server but starting
that didn't change anything. Do I need to install any software on the server
that the SDK may have installed on my local machine?

Thanks for any help.

I have an update on my question below:

I fixed the error by enabling WebDAV under IIS. It seems that IIS 5.0 which
runs on my machine enables this by default. However, IIS 6.0 which is my
server with Windows Server 2003 does not. Problem solved. Now to see if I can
get this running of my hosted server.....
