The glx updater is working fine for Mac and it was working OK for
Windows, but now when I elect to install an update the application just
quits. No update starts and the app does not restart itself. No error
message is given. I really have no idea how to troubleshoot this. I do
have the "updater.gz" and "windows_updater.gz" files in place and like I
say it was working.
The one thing I have done that I think is suspect is I installed
Wordpress on this site and am using a security plugin called iThemes
Security which locks things down pretty tight. I'm wondering if the
htaccess file needs to be modified. But I have no idea what I'm doing in
that department. Would I modify the main htaccess file and/or place an
htaccess file alongside the glx updater files? If so, what should it
include? Why is it working for Mac but not Windows?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Well I moved everything to a different domain to eliminate the possibility that the Wordpress installation was causing the problem. Unfortunately, the problem persists. Macs update just fine but fails from Windows (I tired from Win 7 and Win 8).

OK, I finally tracked it down. Turned out to be some errant code (called only when run on Windows) in a substack "openStack" call. Took me about a day to narrow it down and it was one line of code, fixed in a couple of seconds! That's life!

Good times. I just got done tracking one of those down. There should be a term we use for the state a programmer is in when you don't know what the cause of a bug could be and whether it will take 5 minutes or 5 months to fix.

I'll let you know!
