I experience this issue when I would want to determine if an update was available based on Configuration with File Size Check; my updates.txt file on the server side resembled this

;aiu;
[MLMS]
Name = MLMS
URL = http://servername/winapps/dev/mlms/ai/mlms.exe
Size = 15485915
Description = This update fixes issues related to ticket #999
Feature = Added comments section to Chemical Process
FilePath = c:\Program Files (x86)\YOVA\MLMS\MLMS.exe
Version = 1.31.0.0

When end users would trigger Check for updates on the client side - it would always assume an update was available and if you went through the update/repair process at the end they would get the error mentioned in this question.

My solution was to use the Configuration with Version Given by a Registry Value method. This actually worked better since my build server increments the version on every release. I updated my updates.txt by removing property values that did not apply to the configuration such as File Path and adding those mentioned in the documentation (e.g. RegistryKey); Adding unessary values yields weird behavior.

;aiu;
[MLMS]
Name = MLMS
URL = http://servername/winapps/dev/mlms/ai/mlms.exe
Size = 15485915
RegistryKey = HKLM\Software\Wow6432\YOVA\MLMS\Version
Version = 1.31.0.0
Description = This update fixes issues related to ticket #999
Feature = Added comments section to Chemical Process

Overwall I belive the issue may be how you have the updates.txt configured, also all settings on the updates.txt file must be valid or you get that error. For example, initially I had omitted the \Wow6432\ path from my registry value on my updates.txt server side file and this error would surface, once corrected the error went away and the update detection worked as expected.

I suggest you a two steps investigation:

  1. you should first manually install the updates setup and see if the upgrade installation succeeds (also try to create an installation log too)
  2. then you should try to deploy the updates setup through auto updater and launch the updates setup with a log command; then check the updates installation log file and make sure there is nothing wrong during upgrade
