    I get: Something went wrong while reading Products list…

    I see that there was a similar post which is now unavailable:

    https://www.grapecity.com/forums/c1-studio/error-running-controlpanel.

    Currently 2020.1 is installed (WinForms edition), no proxy server.

    Any solution to this? Thx

    When I get the JSON prod list from that URL, it validates as valid JSON. So I’m not sure what else to try - perhaps the error refers to a URL value in the JSON Thx

    JSON starts with…

    {
    	"Root": [{
    		"HelpLink": "https://grapecity.wistia.com/medias/4bz3sgkqt8",
    		"LatestNewsLink": "https://gcpkg.blob.core.windows.net/c1installer/webinstaller/c1latest.txt",
    		"Products": [{
    			"GroupOrder": [{
    				"Name": "Desktop",
    				"Order": 1
