The K3 Utility does indeed use WinInet. However clearing the browser
cache shouldn't be necessary as I think I tried to select options to
bypass local cache.
Clearing the cache may not do what you are trying to do unless you use
IE for this cache clearing step. Not all browsers use WinInet.

I had just downloaded the zip file from the beta folder and unzipped it.
The check boxes on the utility to upload to the K3 were greyed out. I
