I would appreciate any advice on how to understand or resolve the following problem.
I implemented a mba, and using the Wix (3.8) source (src\Setup) as a guide to use the Update functionality. This functionality has been working in several bundles (projects) which I have developed over the last several months, both in regard to 'updating' to a newer bundle, and in regard to downloading the Exe/Msi packages, if they are not local. Last week I moved the projects from the web server I was using to develop the projects to a new hosting service which is running Apache. I no longer have direct access to web server configuration. When I run an 'up to date' bundle (without any local packages) the bundle successfully downloads the atom feed, determines that the bundle is 'up to date', and after prompting, proceeds to download the packages, completing a successful installation. The problem is observed when I stage a newer bundle to the web server. On a clean system, with only the 'out of date' bundle, the fact that an update is available is detected. However the bundle update fails with following errors. (I added log messages to the ResolveSource event handler to try and get more information.)

In Chrome, when I put the URI to the atom feed into the validator.w3.org/feed site, it reports: "It looks like this is a web page, not a feed. I looked for a feed associated with this page, but couldn't find one. Please enter the address of your feed to validate." So the first burn error indicates that the package Id was missing and the w3.org error indicates that the atom is not being served as a feed. Here is my atom. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"; xmlns:as="http://appsyndication.org/2006/appsyn";> <title type="text">Project Suite v9.0</title> <as:application type="application/vnd.ms-msi">BABA82C4-aGUID</as:application> <updated>2014-07-05T13:36:27Z</updated> <id>http://www.comapny.com/someFolder/project/v9.0/feed/index.html</id> <link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.company.com/someFolder/project/v9.0/feed/index.html"/> <entry> <title>Project Suite v9.0.21.0</title> <author> <name>Mr Support</name> supportem...@comapny.com </author> <link rel="alternate" href="http://www.company.com/someFolder/project/v9.0/release"/> <link rel="enclosure" href="http://www.comapny.com/someFolder/project/v9.0/release/bundle.exe"; length="1527016" type="application/exe"/> <content type="html">stuff that was changed:</content> <application xmlns="http://appsyndication.org/2006/appsyn"; type="application/exe">975AEB44-aGuid</application> <version xmlns="http://appsyndication.org/2006/appsyn";>9.0.21.0</version> <updated>2014-07-05T13:36:27Z</updated> </entry> </feed> I have done a lot of experiments and tried to debug the code but I am not sure if this is an Apache server configuration issue or if the problem is in my code some where. I have always been a little confused as to the purpose of the two GUIDs in the atom. I have also been using Fiddler but did not find the issue yet. I did learn that the Apache server would not serve the feed unless I provided the file name of the feed, and then it serves it very fast (which is nice). Also if I change the extension on the atom file to .atom, then the server returns 404 even when the URI has the name of the atom file. Any assistance in understanding this issue (or how to collect better information) would be appreciated.
