Friedrich,

Have a client with a program that does web updates. The install on my
system works perfectly checking (and downloading) updates. When
checking for updates on his system, he gets the error message about the
manifest file not found.

This tells me something is blocking wupdate.exe from accessing the
internet. I've added a firewall exception for it and he's still getting
the error. This tells me the next likely culprit is his anti-virus
program. I've recommended his IT folks add that exception.

Is there anything else that could prevent the program from doing its job?
