    This is because somehow their metadataRepository is screwed up.

    I solved this problem as follows, in my case ubuntu 11.04 and eclipse indigo, should work the same way for Windows. This solution requires a bit of work though and is a bit tricky.
    (As soon as they update their repository, this should not be necessary anymore)

    (1) create a new local folder on your system at [pathName] (absolute path on your local machine).

    (2) create two more folders:
    [pathName]/plugins
    [pathName]/features

    (3) From this source location : http://downloads.zend.com/pdt/ . Download the corresponding two plugins and the one feature and put them into the corresponding local folders

    (4) Download also the content.xml and artifacts.xml and put them into [pathName].

    (5) Edit the file [pathName]/content.xml, and replace the section. Here is an excerpt, replace [pathName]

    <references size='1'>
    <repository uri='file:/[pathName]' url='file:/[pathName]' />
</references>

    (6) In eclipse: Help -> Install New Software -> Available Software Site -> Add
    location : browse to and select [pathName].

    (7) select the debugger, confirm approval of license, warning on security.

    Done.

    This was all a bit of a pain to get it right. If you still get errors, please verify the content.xml references, and that the right plugins the right feature for your system are in the subfolders. I am not supporting this, but it did work for me.
