Palladian 1.8, new install, fails "no repository found" for items

The update site URL which you posted looks fine, so this should indeed be your next try. We’ve had this issue with some enterprise customers already, so it’s not unlikely that this is also the case in your case.

Good luck, and I’d really appreciate if you could keep me posted.

Best,
Philipp
