The current VaM_Updater.exe just broke due to changes on the CDN deprecating support for older versions of TLS. I have just released a new version of the updater that fixes this.
Unfortunately the existing updater cannot self update due to not be able to download the new version. So you must manually install the new version. Here is the link (same as before, but you must re-download):

For existing installs: extract the VaM_Updater.exe inside of this zip over your existing VaM_Updater.exe in your install folder. Run the updater. You will need to tell windows to make an exception the 1st time you run it (Click More Info link, then Run anyway).
For new installs: Follow all instructions on this page:

1.19 will be released later today, and this new updater will be required.
