Here is the SOAP Packet we are sending:

I've just done an updateCriteria here and traced what we send. Here I was just updating the maxCpc of the criterion:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <soap:Envelope xmlns:xml="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace" xmlns:fn="https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/v4" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

I don't know which of those fields is absolutely essential. In this case we happen to be sending more fields than are strictly necessary because I'm just sending back the structure which I got from Google (from a getAllCriteria call in this case).

Actually, I can see your problem. You're missing the inner <Criteria> element (or at least an inner element - remember that updateCriteria can update more than one criterion, so you need an extra block in there).

This is what we got back from Google:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
