Hi,
Maybe it’s more easy to have offline installer accessible somewhere ?

Hi,

There is an offline installer, you can use the .exe

Hi fir2,

It appears the proxy in your network is handling your command line request different from the browser which is handling the request correctly. Is it possible to disable the proxy? Otherwise there must be a way to authenticate with that proxy.

Hi, not possible to disable proxy for all domain because your installer use random url of many domains.
If only exception for *.activestate.com we could to this.
example of denied on our proxy for your installer :
TCP_DENIED/407 4091 CONNECT state-tool.s3.amazonaws. com:443
TCP_DENIED/407 4053 CONNECT state-tool.s3.amazonaws. com:443
TCP_DENIED/407 4041 CONNECT www.google-analytics. com:443
TCP_DENIED/407 3997 CONNECT freegeoip. app:443
TCP_DENIED/407 4005 CONNECT api.rollbar. com:443
TCP_DENIED/407 4041 CONNECT www.google-analytics. com:443
TCP_DENIED/407 4041 CONNECT cli-msi.s3.amazonaws. com:443
TCP_DENIED/407 4041 CONNECT cli-msi.s3.amazonaws. com:443
TCP_DENIED/407 4001 CONNECT login. live. com:443

The offline installer resolve the problem and could be interesting to install on computers who have not internet.
