I've run into this error on Windows 7 on two different machines and multiple installs, one OEM and one vanilla Windows 7 Extreme. When this happens, it seems to happen when the "Web Platform Installer" has been run, then exited, and then run again without rebooting the machine in between. To workaround this, you may have to reboot the machine. See the stack overflow question MS WebPI package runCommand not working in Manifest.xml for more information.

As such, it's not advisable to exit and re-launch WebPI. The best way to get feed changes to take effect in WebPI may be to:

Click on the options link in the bottom right of WebPI
Click the X next to your feed to remove it
Click OK and wait for WebPI to finish updating the remaining feeds
Run iiswsgi_webpi.exe
Click on the options link again in WebPI
Enter the feed URL and click Add Feed to restore the feed
Click OK and wait for WebPI again

Now your feed changes should be reflected in WebPI.

I can't reproduce this on EC2 Windows Server 2008 images so it may be Windows 7 specific.

Not something we can fix, but leaving this open so others can find it if they run into the issue.

On second thought, having this open is confusing.
