Is it possible that his IE is using a proxy server of some kind, and this is 
caching the result? If he's deleted all his temporary files inside IE, then I 
don't see how IE itself could be loading the old version of a website - dunno 
where XAP files are stored though.

Cheers

You can trick the browser by appending a version to the download url (of the 
XAP).

Indeed! Starting a few days ago I put the version number inside the full XAP 
file name to help avoid unwanted caching. We've been running experiments with 4 
people and getting improved but still occasional unpredictable caching 
problems. One guy's IE shows the old app, another has Chome stuck but not his 
IE, and so on. One chap put ?foo=bar on the URL and it woke up the new version. 
So it's all a bit of a dog's breakfast.

However, I feel that changing the XAP file name on each release can only make 
things better.

The chap with the dodgy IE11 did a full reset and reboot but it had no effect.
