Invalid URL error when using "Update Components" function

After installing the package, go to Control Panel > Programs and Features, right click on QtSDK and select "Change". In the resulting Wizard, select "Update Components".

The wizard now displays an error "Invalid repository URL:\nhttp:/qt5repository/windows/x32/online_qt5sdk_repo.". This URL does appear to be invalid (there should be two slashes after the colon).

The following information was provided by the Installer Framework maintainers:

"The URL comes from your config.xml. There should be an section like this:

<RemoteRepositories>
<Repository>
<Url>http://www.yourcompany.com/packages</Url>
</Repository>
</RemoteRepositories>

Please note that the Required tag is not supported anymore. The URL specified there is used from the maintenance/updater/package manager to access the online repo for updates etc..."
