New path requirements
* The user account used to perform the update '''MUST''' have the appropriate permissions (e.g. Full Control on Windows, write, read, and execute on Linux and Mac OS X, etc.) on the application's installation directory that is being updated and on the '''outside''' directory defined below.
* If you are updating an application on Windows Vista or greater with UAC enabled then you may need to launch cmd.exe with "Run as administrator" (available in the context menu when right clicking cmd.exe) as well.
* All paths '''MUST''' be full paths using the platform convention.
* All paths '''MUST''' not contain traversal directives in the path.
* Paths containing spaces passed to the updater '''MUST''' be quoted (e.g. "C:\Program Files\temp"). If you quote a path to a directory and include the trailing \ you must escape the \ with a \ so the " isn't escaped (e.g. "C:\Program Files\temp\\").
* To use a partial mar file you '''MUST''' be updating the build it was created from (e.g. for Firefox firefox-3.5.6-3.5.7.partial.mar can only update Firefox 3.5.6).
