I used Help > Check for updates, which yielded the error

Invalid or missing updates configuration file. The first line of the .INI file should be ";aiu;". It is possible that the content on the server does not match the updates configuration file URL.

Here is my updater.ini

That look OK. The message refers to the server's INI file. Try this:

v:\> type http://jpsoft.com/downloads/v11/tcmdupdate.aiu
;aiu;

This produces what you show. Does the updater use FTP? If yes, it may be blocked by a firewall over which I have no control. I assume that it does not, because your example command here uses http, not ftp.

No, I doubt that is the problem, because it was working recently (I think even after I was updated to 11.0.37.

Perplexing.

The problem has resolved itself (and TC updated itself to 11.0.38). Perhaps something was stale on my end...
