Try to start PR Launcher and go to "Options">"Global" and change the "Update Download Location" to your Download's Folder or something.

It seems the program is trying to download the updates but classic windows is giving problems with the permissions.

Dont question the wikipedia! Just because it reports different things on different languages does not make it unreliable source!

What OS are you using?
Are you logged in as a admin?

In windows Explorer: Go to C:\Users\Dale\AppData\Local\Temp\
RIght click on ProjectRealityUpdate directory
Properties
Attributes - >remove read only
Security Tab
Make sure all the users have full control over the directory.
Click Apply,

Then try again.

Dlzrrr, was having the same problem on the German located servers today.
It's outside of our control today, try other servers to test.

IF you don't have problems playing other online games, I think it's something at that German data center.
