We can't know what you are doing wrong without seeing the code,

And just a side note, VB.net has a built in auto update feature


And I can tell you one thing, I know using One_click is buggy when it comes to autoupdates and check for updates ( I didn't watch the tut, but if they use it...) Manually upload the files to the server via ftp client, Thats what I do.

well to be honest... i don't get ftp's/ftp clients at all.
but heres the code for the updater.

button 1

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Button1.Enabled = False
        Label1.Text = "Checking For Updates"
        WebClient1.DownloadFileAsync(New Uri("*"), "Version.txt") 'replace * with Where file is E.G "https://cozmo195studios.*********/Version/update.txt"
    End Sub

yes i have put my uri in the "" where the star is.

Webclient

    Private Sub WebClient1_DownloadFileCompleted(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.AsyncCompletedEventArgs) Handles WebClient1.DownloadFileCompleted
        'note 1.00 would be 1.0.0
        Dim read As String = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText("Version.txt")
        If Not read = "2.00" Then
            If read = "" Then
                Label1.Text = "Could not check for updates, Please try again later"
            Else
                Label1.Text = "Newer Version Available!" & "(" & read & ")"
            End If
        Else
            Label1.Text = "Newer Version Available!" & "(" & read & ")"
        End If
    End Sub

... Auto updates check a webclient, you are connecting via FTP using OneClick (in VS) or a FTP client, If you drag your compiled code to your ftp site, it will work, if you use oneclick to upload 80% of the time, it doesn't work
