As the title says, when I try to update I get an 1221: Unable to obtain an update list message. I've search the forum and the only suggestion that was there, doesn't work for me (router/antivirus is not the cause).

Does anyone have any other suggestions? Is the source for the update simply offline?

Well, C:\Users\Administrator\AppData is a hidden directory by default in Windows Vista (win7 and win8 also)

IF you didn't know this already, here is how to view default hidden folders from inside the Windows Explorer UI:
How to see hidden files in Windows Vista

After you finish the tutorial int he above link, and you still can't find those directories, then yes, we have a problem.

Issued is resolved, thread can be closed.

Solution was simply to remove old version of PR and install the latest from the website.
