InstallForge Community

I'm working with Install Forge 1.4.4 (Windows 10).
The update check built by Install Forge (called from a python script) always worked fine.
Now I get the message:
"Verbindung zum Server wurde erfolgreich hergestellt
Update-Informationen konnten nicht empfangen werden."
In English:
"Connection to the server was successfully established.
Update information could not be received."
Neither the configuration nor the updatescript.ini has been changed.
What could be the reason for this behaviour?
May be a Windows security issue, but I could figure out this.

Solved. Simply restarting the computer. But I still don´t know the reason for this behaviour!

Problems with shortcuts. I want to create an icon shortcut on the desktop for my app and in the startmenu for the app and the Uninstall.exe.
I followed the instructions provided in https://docs.installforge.net/getting-s ... -shortcuts . Icon file is <InstallPath>\myApp\my.ico, Icon index is set to 0.
The install process works, but neither the desktop nor the startmenu shortcuts were created.
What can I do?
Best regards V.
