When a user selects the "Check for Updates" shortcut that I created it appears the updater checks for updates OK however the user is presented with no dialogs at all.
If there are no new updates, is the user presented with a dialog or do I need to create one?
Web update - \"User Experience\"
You didn't understand. If no update is available, there is no dialog, but there is a popup balloon saying that no updates are available.

There's no popup on my user system.
I created a shortcut as follows:
Program: $UNINSTALLLINK$
Command Line: /update
Click the link, my program does something according to TaskManager, no screen interaction at all.
The ini file exists on my webserver and as far as I can see everything else works OK.
PS - The Update works OK when there is an update available. There's just no balloon or anything when there isn't.

Some time ago I modified the update script for IA 6.0. See here:

Note: The update script has changed since IA 6.0. Use this as a starting point for own modifications.

Here's what support had to say (just to close this thread on a highlight
In the updates script, right after the line that reads:
Get INI $SUPPORTDIR$\\updates.ini, [Update Packs for Versions] $VERSION$ Value into Variable UPDATE_AVAILABLE
you can find the following code:
if Variable UPDATE_AVAILABLE Equals
Terminate Installation
end
That one is the condition that is met when no updates were found. Add a Messagebox or Messageballon before the Terminate Installation to inform the user that no updates were found:
if Variable UPDATE_AVAILABLE Equals
MessageBalloon: No Updates Found, There were no available updates
Terminate Installation
end
Pretty simple if you know a bit about scripting (as I now do ).
