I think we are speaking of Windows' firewall and its in there. I'll just be sure
it's the correct version.

Friedrich,
The thot plickens <g>.
Can't find anything that is blocking the wupdate.exe program on this one machine.
Its XP, so no UAC issues. My XP machine works perfectly (one of my test systems).
Still gets the manifest not found 503 error message. No virus programs running.
Just got word one other XP machine is also having this problem. No idea yet if
other XP machines have this issue. I do know a Vista and one Win7 machine works
fine.
My only workaround right now is to have these users download a new install and run
it instead.
I'm convinced this their local environment, but stumped as what to look for next.
If you have any guesses (even wild a** ones <g>), I'm willing to look into
anything right now. I know its not wupdate.exe, I've proven that. But something
is blocking its outside access and it could be anything. No Zone Alarm, Norton
turned off, there are firewall exceptions for it.
Also, just now had him install on another XP machine and it worked. Clearly, not
all XP systems are created equally <g>
Guesses anyone?

Russell - this may not help but then again ...
Is this a XP Pro machine? If so read on!
I have recently been having issues running apps on XP that work on
Vista/Win7. They install fine and whatever I try could not find a solution.
Eventually I narrowed it down to Win XP PRO. The same application worked on
standard Win XP.
So I knew that 7 of my clients could not run my applications and ALL were on
XP Pro (SP2 or SP3).
So I reformatted a machine here with XP Pro with a normal setup and guess
what - my applications worked. 2 of my clients also reported spurious issues
so they reformatted their own machines and the SAME application worked that
time for them.
So the only conclusion I could come up with is that some versions of XP Pro
are prone to some weird setup issues. Firewalls and anti virus/spyware
solutions could be ruled out and I am suspecting something to do with
permissions. But again ONLY ever on XP Pro.
I am not sure if this helps at all but is this machine an XP Pro machine????

I assume "503" is: "503 Service Unavailable -- The server is currently
unavailable (because it is overloaded or down for maintenance)".
Three digit response status codes beginning with the digit "5" indicate
cases in which the server is aware that it has encountered an error or is
otherwise incapable of performing the request.
As I interpret it, it is a server problem. Just for fun, ask him to install
SetupBuilder (he can uninstall it later <g>) and to use the "Check for
Update" functionality. If it also returns "503" then it is a problem with
his machine. If it works okay, then it's a problem with your server.
Friedrich
John,
I've no idea, I can check. But if it is, I don't think formatting is a viable
solution! <g>

Actually, he's thinking of upgrading to Win7 - if his machine can handle it.

My apologies Friedrich, I used a typical American (and British) custom -
abbreviated the long error number into something shorter. It is the error code
beginning with 503 (manifest not found).
He then installed my program on another XP machine and the update worked. Same
network. So its definitely *not* anything you supply. Please understand that I'm
not reporting a bug here, just trying to get some ideas in my limited knowledge of
networks. Figured there would be others here that could jump in.
So apologies again if I am not using your newsgroup correctly.

You are using the newsgroup correctly ;-)
I think you mentioned Error -7 (that is returned to your app from
wupdate.exe).
The wupdate.exe displays:
---
Cannot download server manifest file.
Network Communication Error: %_SB_ERRORCODE%
---
As I understand it, %_SB_ERRORCODE% is "503". But that would be HTTP error
503 and is reported from your server.
Or is it "5030", followed by a 5 digit WinSock Error code?
Friedrich
BTW, the first 4 digits tell us where in the HTTP component the error
happened (e.g. 5030 = "connect" WinSock API). The code after that is the
WSAGetLastError() API return code.
For example, 100054 = WSAECONNRESET = "Connection reset by peer (server
process failed)"
The following HTTP component errors are defined:
5020 - After the "socket" API call.
5030 - After the "connect" API call.
5040 - After the "send" API call which returned a SOCKET_ERROR.
5050 - After the "recv" API call which returned a SOCKET_ERROR and
WSAGetLastError returned WSAETIMEDOUT.
5060 - HTTP stream did not include data package size information.
5070 - After the "recv" API call (Atomic clock functionality only).
So the last 5 digits are the WinSock error. Do you know what is returned?
Friedrich
Let me get the exact error code for you.
