Text Processing doesn't work with Knime 3.6

Hi @Django87,

This is a known issue. See for example:

Installation fails

I have just run Knime 3.6.0 64 Bit Windows Installer on a completely virgin Windows Server 2016 VM. I then opted to install extensions, namely the Palladian and text processing. KNIME went through the update process but there is nothing available in the node repository. This has rendered many of my existing workflows useless as the relevant nodes are reported as unavailable. What the hell is going on here?

Nodes available with Knime 3.6.0 (windows)

I updated my Knime from 3.5.3 to 3.6 on Win10. My workflows using Palladian complained about missing nodes and Knime offered to download - unfortunately I can’t click on next to proceed. Then I installed manually via the repository; I tried both the current community version and the nightly build, and although it installs (and restarts), the nodes aren’t anywhere to be seen in the node-list (e.g. by search) and my workflows still complain. Funny thing is though, in the list of installed nodes, …

In short: If you uninstall the HCS extensions for the time being, text processing should work fine again. Sorry for the trouble, we’re on it!
