the key "output" can be overridden by setting "OutputPath" directly into your app.config

Summary of Events

Event	Description
NewUpdate	It is triggered when the key "forceUpdate" is set to "False" and a new update is found.
DownloadProgressChanged	It is triggered when a download is first, so your application can display the status of the download update.
DownloadCompleted	It is triggered when a download is complete, should be taken into account the percentage of the download progress, so, if it is different from "100", then the download failed.
Error	It is triggered when an error occurs.

Copy always

When you install the AutoUpaderEasy nuget repository, the package creates into the your project folder an executable file named "AutoUpdateView.exe". This file will run out of your application to kill him and extract the update package files thus replacing the old files. You need to ensure that the executable will be copied to the bin folder of your project.

IIS Web.config

<?xml version="1.0"?>
 
<configuration>
    <system.webServer>
        <staticContent>
            <mimeMap fileExtension=".json" mimeType="application/json" />
     </staticContent>
    </system.webServer>
</configuration>

This is necessary to show static json file
