After migrating from Eclipse 3.5 to 3.6 the p2-enabled update in our RCP application no longer works.

On start-up there is a warning that "the update checker service is not initialized".

Help > Check for Updates fails with this message:

Quote:

Could not locate the running profile instance. The eclipse.p2.data.area and eclipse.p2.profile properties may not be set correctly in this application's config.ini file.

Even Help > About > Installation Details fails with:

and:

Any ideas? (Cross-posted from the RCP group, where p2 knowledge appears to be more scarce...)
