When I try and install a new package via the MiKTeX package manager I get the error 'Unsupported protocol'. I'm not sure what this protocol is or where I can change it. The error information is:

Just created a bug report at miktex (this might indeed be a different issue than the "update error" one created by 218). https://sourceforge.net/p/miktex/bugs/2609/
[edit] and it has just been fixed apparently. (thanks to Christian Schenk). It works on my Win7 machine now and I did not reinstall anything.
