Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim page As String = "http://www.YOURSITE.com/UpdatedAPP.exe"
Dim WebUpdate As System.Net.WebClient

Just something to let people know, you can upload exe files to google sites by changing the file name to something else (like .zip, etc.) and make your program change it back to .exe once downloaded.
This helps because Google Sites does not allow the uploading of .exe files.

Hey
This is annoying little reminder that either someone has miswritten the URL, or deleted the file ( no File Exists ).
So check your Code, the ERROR will be in there

Actually, I got it fixed by registering at imageshack. But I think you have to stay logged in, in order to see the pics.

for websites that dont allow .exe files for direct upload the only option is FTP (but i dont think that Google has ftp. you should try other webhosts.)

um that my dear friend is called bumping and i dont think so because VB6 code works different than VB2k5 Vb2k8 and Vb2k10 and most likely vb2k12
