Hi,

I get the same error when trying to open Web Platform Installer 5.0:

"Invalid Xml: The element 'feed' is missing the required child element 'id'."

Running "%programfiles%\microsoft\web platform installer\webplatforminstaller.exe /reset" is not working for me.

Looks like the feed xml at https://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9842185 is redirecting instead of getting us the proper xml file. That's probably product wide issue.
