Just a quick follow-up, in case someone thought they had a solution.
As a resort, I tried running the AppGet feature. No matter what I set it to show, Installed, Outdated or even All apps - it only reports: No Apps Found. The hope that it would bypass the warned website, and get directly to the servers, hereby is broken. All I can get from this, is that we have seen the final of App Central from GW. Might as well face real facts. Hope this at least saves you all any further tries and frustrations. If you happen to have installers for any WE apps, make sure to back them up at least two different places, for future reinstallations. Like all other WinEyes material, like your installation CD, Software updates and the like. Once lost, forget about getting anything from any official source.
