RCP, 0.7.7: Update fails with error and null value (win32)

Update from stable 0.7.7.201508311259 to stable 0.7.8 fails with error and null value on Windows XP 32bit. After restart, the splash screen then shows 0.7.8 but the update has not been applied.

Dialog error:

added type::bug update + 1 deleted label

changed milestone to %TXM 0.8.2

Its seems this bug is still present in Luna 4.4.2. We may need to upgrade TXM to Neon.

Temporary Workaround:

• launch TXM 0.7.7
• when TXM is started and the updates windows appears, rename TXM.exe to TXM.old.exe (TXM.exe is located in [installation directory]\TXM
• apply the update and restart TXM

Obsolete issue. The bug has been fixed in Eclipse >= Luna.
But a new issue seems to appear in Oxygen + Windows 10, see: linked issue #2724.
