Only happens after bumping the version to 1.1.5
1.1.4 is not affected yet.

Thanks for reporting. The issue is fixed with fa1f669
It was caused because of the invalid path returned from the function that downloads IDEs – it was returning parent directory instead of the actual IDE's dir: f0e7471#diff-d7d397447dff9b82440110ee94dca3dda67b3f9449af7004a72a5f6ea99646beR506-R507

What is interesting here is that this issue was already present since 1.1.4 – probably all the downloaded IDEs were still present and got removed after upgrading to 1.1.5

Anyway, 1.1.6 is out now.
