3.0.0 beta downloading projects from appstore

1
Hi guys, I tried to download a random project from the appstore and it gave me the following error. System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at Mendix.Modeler.AppStoreIntegration.AppStoreContainer.ImportApp(AppType appType, String appFileName, String tmpFilePath) in c:\cygwin\home\autobuild\build\Mendix-3.0\modeler\Modeler\AppStoreIntegration\AppStoreContainer.cs:line 58 at AppStore.AppStoreAccountManager.Download(Int64 versionId, AppType appType, String frameworkVersion, String sourceFileName) in c:\cygwin\home\autobuild\build\Mendix-3.0\modeler\AppStore\AppStoreAccountManager.cs:line 48 at AppStore.AppDetails.downloadButton_MouseLeftButtonDown(Object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e) in c:\cygwin\home\autobuild\build\Mendix-3.0\modeler\AppStore\Controls\AppDetails\AppDetails.xaml.cs:line 203 at System.Windows.Input.MouseButtonEventArgs.InvokeEventHandler(Delegate genericHandler, Object genericTarget) at System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs.InvokeHandler(Delegate handler, Object target) at System.Windows.RoutedEventHandlerInfo.InvokeHandler(Object target, RoutedEventArgs routedEventArgs) at System.Windows.EventRoute.InvokeHandlersImpl(Object source, RoutedEventArgs args, Boolean reRaised) at System.Windows.UIElement.ReRaiseEventAs(DependencyObject sender, RoutedEventArgs args, RoutedEvent newEvent) at System.Windows.UIElement.CrackMouseButtonEventAndReRaiseEvent(DependencyObject sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e) at System.Windows.UIElement.OnMouseDownThunk(Object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e) at System.Windows.Input.MouseButtonEventArgs.InvokeEventHandler(Delegate genericHandler, Object genericTarget) at System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs.InvokeHandler(Delegate handler, Object target) at System.Windows.RoutedEventHandlerInfo.InvokeHandler(Object target, RoutedEventArgs routedEventArgs) at System.Windows.EventRoute.InvokeHandlersImpl(Object source, RoutedEventArgs args, Boolean reRaised) at System.Windows.UIElement.RaiseEventImpl(DependencyObject sender, RoutedEventArgs args) at System.Windows.UIElement.RaiseEvent(RoutedEventArgs args, Boolean trusted) at System.Windows.Input.InputManager.ProcessStagingArea() at System.Windows.Input.InputManager.ProcessInput(InputEventArgs input) at System.Windows.Input.InputProviderSite.ReportInput(InputReport inputReport) at System.Windows.Interop.HwndMouseInputProvider.ReportInput(IntPtr hwnd, InputMode mode, Int32 timestamp, RawMouseActions actions, Int32 x, Int32 y, Int32 wheel) at System.Windows.Interop.HwndMouseInputProvider.FilterMessage(IntPtr hwnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wParam, IntPtr lParam, Boolean& handled) at System.Windows.Interop.HwndSource.InputFilterMessage(IntPtr hwnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wParam, IntPtr lParam, Boolean& handled) at MS.Win32.HwndWrapper.WndProc(IntPtr hwnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wParam, IntPtr lParam, Boolean& handled) at MS.Win32.HwndSubclass.DispatcherCallbackOperation(Object o) at System.Windows.Threading.ExceptionWrapper.InternalRealCall(Delegate callback, Object args, Boolean isSingleParameter) at System.Windows.Threading.ExceptionWrapper.TryCatchWhen(Object source, Delegate callback, Object args, Boolean isSingleParameter, Delegate catchHandler) Right, weird stuff. So Erwin here told me that it WOULD work if you created a project and then downloaded a project, but this doesn't make any sense. Anyone else experiencing this problem? I'm using 3.0.0 beta build 140.

This is a known bug in 3.0.0-beta. It has been fixed and the problem will be gone in the next release. For now, the workaround is indeed to have a project (just any project) open while you download the AppStore content.
