is there a workaround for this or can someone advise how i can fix the webplatform installer.

For a dying product, you shouldn't expect more, https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/429383/web-platform-installer-end-of-support-and-sunsetti.html
For a dying product id expect it to be taken down entirely rather than left with many broken links and users who dont see or know that its ended its life.
Iif we all follow the other logic imagine how messy that would be for support
