WU_E_RANGEOVERLAP
WU_E_RANGEOVERLAP means an update handler requested overlapping byte ranges while retrieving or preparing content. The error points to an invalid range plan from the handler or its metadata, not simply to a slow network connection.
What to check
- Identify the update and handler responsible for the range request.
- Look for preceding content, cache, or delta-update errors that caused the handler to retry with inconsistent ranges.
- If the issue comes from an internally published update, validate the package and metadata rather than changing range behavior on the client.
