Provide an error message or better description.

The "error" would be No win64 binary found. It seems vsrupdate can only handle zip/7z files. So the result is always like this with vsrupdate.py -p warpsf update-local -g <token>:

    "releases": [
        {
            "version": "r1",
            "published": "2019-08-24T10:38:33Z"
        },
        {
        ... 
        }

Yes, this is indeed unsupported but the answer is to compress releases like a sane person in my opinion.

[theChaosCoder]

In this case it does not save that much bandwidth: 28kb dll vs 15kb zip. I guess that means you won't add support for it?

[myrsloik]

No, definitely won't bother. It's actually a horrible idea not to compress because then normal users (not using vsrepo to automatically check file hash) won't realize if the download is corrupt.
