I'm attempting to user UpdateService for the first time, and have registered my product on the web site.
When I make a call to AppUpdate in my code, I get error 13000. My guess is that this is happening because I haven't run the setup program on my development box. However, since this is a developer box, I really can't run setup as it'll mess up all of my COM object locations and settings.
Is there a way that I can register my product code with my local update service without running through my installation?
You are correct in your analysis of the problem. To mock what the installation does, you can call an ISUS API called Register(). Documentation is in the SDK help.
