Desai, Himish 1

When i tried to install workflow manager 1.0 Refresh (CU2) on Windows Server 2016 Datacenter VM, i am facing below error.

"Microsoft Windows Fabric V1 RTM"
"This product did not download successfully. The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found."

Hi @Gábor Kiss , thank you for posting in Q&A forum.
Unfortunately, there is no temporary download link for the related products for the time being. We will have to wait until Microsoft team provide a resolution for this issue.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi all, sorry for the inconvenience caused by this issue.
We have reported this issue internally to the Workflow Manager and Service Bus teams and they are continuing to look into this.

This issue is caused by a new policy of the Microsoft Download Center that blocks teams from offering files with SHA1 digital signatures out of security consideration, which most/all of these (Workflow Manager related) files have been codesigned with.
As a result, the Microsoft Download Center is automatically unpublishing files that do not meet the new digital signature requirement.

The teams are looking at potential mitigations for this so they can get their files permanently republished, but we cannot guarantee you when it will be fixed at this time.
We highly appreciate your patience and will keep updating progress of this issue.
Thank you very much for your understanding.

Hi all,
Per my test, this issue has been fixed in Web Platform Installer (Windows Server 2016 Datacenter). The Workflow Manager 1.0 Refresh (CU2) is ready for download and installation.
Please confirm in your SharePoint environments and see if it works as expected.
