Downloaded updates invalid

I'm receiving the error that "downloaded copy of "xxx" is not valid and can not be installed. This could be due to an incomplete download or other network issue. Please try running the updater again when complete"

This is happening with 3 separate portables. Where does Portable Apps download the updates to before it installs them? I'm pretty sure I need to delete the corrupted copy before I can proceed.

Thanks.

Delete Internet Cache

It's set purposely not to cache them. To be sure, you can launch IE and clear your cache. This will also clear the cache for the Windows internet components.

Thats not it

I cleared the IE cache, that doesn't have any effect. It is affecting two computers now. There's got to be some place where the portable apps program downloads content before it installs, right?

TEMP

It's downloaded to the TEMP directory defined on your computer. I'd suggest clearing it and checking the drive it's on for errors. All 300+ apps in the directory are working properly at present.
