SYMPTOMS

When you run the Appupdater.exe tool that is included in Microsoft TV Foundation Edition 1.7, you receive an error message that is similar to the following:
Could not find a part of the path "path and name of XML file".

RESOLUTION

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to reproduce the behavior

  1. Create a global manifest file that contains an incorrect Application element. For example, you have the following correct path that contains no space in the AncientTiles folder name:

    C:\PixelGames\Current\Week1\AncientTiles

    Therefore, create a GM.xml file that contains the following Application element. 
    <ApplicationServices>
  <ApplicationService TSI="Games">
     <Application>C:\PixelGames\Current\Week1\Ancient Tiles\AncientTiles.xml</Application> 
  </ApplicationService>
</ApplicationServices>
  2. Type the following command at a command prompt:

    appupdater -i GM.xml http://localhost:1701/AppUpdater/ILApp.asmx

Note After you run this command, you receive the error message that is mentioned in the "Symptoms" section.
