Every time VAX checks for an update (easy to trigger by changing the checkVersionDate reg key and restarting), it thinks there is one. I have to use a proxy to access the internet so it's possible the false positive is caused by that. If it takes IE's settings it ought to work.

Very well locked down then. I have added a note about this to the case.

Setting up Windows to block the internet is not going to be easy. I'm in a situation where a program not using the proxy can't even access DNS. I suggest the return values from whatever web code you're using ought to be be checked more carefully.

It turns out I really am not sure where to start setting up a proxy server , so I have just put in a bug report for this:

Which is exactly what I am seeing. Does the link open in IE? I am assuming it does.

I just need to figure out how to add a network proxy to one of my test machines so I can reproduce this.

Looks like a simple ShellExecute call with a little info (current version = 1557, button = yes). The landing page obviously says "no updates available".

Interesting. What happens if you use the button:

VA Options -> Startup -> Check Now
