troubleshooting AppUpdater

Has anyone had problems with reliability of the AppUpdater? Any ideas on how to troubleshoot it? I had it working on a win 2003 server yesterday, but the app does not update anymore. I have the following setup:

client computer:
..prog files\my app\ -AppStart.config and AppStart.exe. The config points to my executable in a subdirectory called 1.0.0.0

Web server
inetpub\wwwroot\myApp\ - contains UpdateVersion.xml and 2 subdirectories (1.0.0.0 and 2.0.0.0) The xml file points to a subdirectory called 2.0.0.0

I copy and paste the <ApplicationURL> into a browser and am able to view and download the files contained in this directory. This is a new version of the app, with assemblyInfo.vb = <Assembly: AssemblyVersion("2.0.0.0")>

I have WebDAV enable, I have directory browsing on, I have tried it set up as an application in iis and remove the mapping for the .config file. Have tried it not set up as an application. I have verified that the UpdateURL of the AppUpdater component is valid (copy/paste to a browser shows contents of UpdateVersion.xml)

I don't get any errors on the client, the app just sits there.
Thanks in advance.

Where is <_DownloadDestination> set? the path listed here is incorrect in my appUpdater.xml file. ( I'm assuming that this replaces AppUpdate.log (referenced in the help documentation), I don't have that file)

Ok, it's getting there... at least it fires now.
I am now getting a message stating
Unable to auto-download the missing parts of the application from :
<mysite>\AppUpdater.resources.dll

Can someone tell me what this file is and how I can provide it to the app?
Thanks.
