I think MyGet is having issues today. We rely on MyGet (see the documentation about MyGet in the Wiki), so there is nothing we can do about it, apart from waiting for the issue to get resolved.

I noticed the issues earlier when doing some packages testing. I have just restarted my testing and seem to be working. The URL where you get the error seem to be working now too. @aivtic can you please re-try the installation and confirm if the installer works now for you?

[aivtic]

yes, sure it's working now, thank you.

[Ana06]

Good, thanks for confirming it @aivtic.

We may want to improve the error when there are issues with MyGet URLs, as the error was not very intuitive for the user. I'll keep this issue open to track that.
