    DeleteUrlCacheEntry(filename) not working in windows 10

    a program that was written some years ago in an xp machine and updated to windows 10 64 bit

    Code:
    ret = DeleteUrlCacheEntry(filename)
Set wb = CreateObject("internetexplorer.application")
If Not wb Is Nothing Then wlog "Internet Explorer created,"
wb.navigate2 (filename)
    ret returns 0
    getlastdllerror returns 2

    i have cleared cache entries in internet explorer, but the file version loaded is not the current file but an old copy

    any suggestions, or fixes?
    is this likely to be a 64 bit API problem, or some change to the internet cache?
    i do my best to test code works before i post it, but sometimes am unable to do so for some reason, and usually say so if this is the case.
    Note code snippets posted are just that and do not include error handling that is required in real world applications, but avoid On Error Resume Next

    dim all variables as required as often i have done so elsewhere in my code but only posted the relevant part

    come back and mark your original post as resolved if your problem is fixed

    i think i found it, looks like they updated the website to https, so while the url redirected, the cache entry did not match

    i will do further testing
