Azure Web Platform Installer cmdline fails to download predefined feeds

Question

Using the WebPICmd downloaded from the link on this page today (2012-12-03), I'm getting some error messages whenever I try to install any package.

Apparently it fails to download the predefined Microsoft feeds (I'm not giving any custom feeds via cmdline args). Googling for those messages gives me zero results.

Here's the output:

PS E:\approot\bin\webpicmdline> .\WebpiCmdLine.exe /Products:whatever

Installing via GUI PI works fine.

I've tried deleting all temporary feed XML files, deleting cache via a button in GUI PI, nothing seems to fix the issue.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

The GUI works because you're probably using the Web Platform Installer 4.0. The command line tool you downloaded is still the old 3.0 version.

Simply use the 4.0 command line tool and everything will work correctly. You can find it in the Web Platform Installer installation directory (it comes with the GUI application): C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Web Platform Installer\WebpiCmd.exe
