("Der Pfad hat ein ung?ltiges Format." means something like "the path has an invalid format")

A clean install fixed this

Thanks. Does that mean I have to download the entire 1.4 ISO?

Seems a bit extreme.

Update: clean install from ISO fixed it.

Which leaves only the question, why can't the updater properly patch from 1.3.5 to 1.4.0?

[Gentlefood]

Same issue although happened with a full install from the ISO instead of patching. Tried reinstalling with ISO to no avail, currently redownloading ISO to test for corruption with dl.

Actually this may be a different error. Or perhaps my new install has a new error.
