Proxy Config for Visual Studio.md

In the machine.config file under these 2 folders:

  • C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Config
  • C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\Config

Add this configuration in the bottom (before the last closing tag):

<system.net>
  <defaultProxy enabled="true" useDefaultCredentials="true">  
    <proxy bypassonlocal="True" proxyaddress="http://domain%5Cusername:password@youproxyaddress:portnumber" />
  </defaultProxy> 
</system.net>

In proxyaddress of the line:

<proxy bypassonlocal="True" proxyaddress="http://domain%5Cusername:password@youproxyaddress:portnumber" />

If your proxy has only host and port, you can simply write

<proxy bypassonlocal="True" proxyaddress="http://youproxyaddress:portnumber" />

Restart the installer and it should be already fine.
