Hello,
I am an avid fan of visual Studio. But lately i am very disappointed when I was not able to install it on my Office PC .

I have tried changing the machine.config as below at both the below places : C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\Config and C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Config

as below at the end just before the </configuration> TAG

<configuration>
.. .. .. 

<system.net>  
  <defaultProxy useDefaultCredentials="true" />

</system.net>
</configuration>

But on launching the VisualStudioSetup or the vs_proffessional I always get the below screen which never moves forward.

There was a release note in the Visual Studio which states that it uses the default proxy but seems like it is not taking? Is there any way to install the Visual Studio behind the proxy? Where to state the proxy address? I seem to stuck in this for a week but no resolutions so far !

Please guide soon !

    Hi @Raulp Blooper ,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

    Please try to add 23.77.21.104 aka.ms into the hosts file in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts. Besides, you may need to add several Microsoft domain URLs to the allowlist. Check this doc: URLs to add to an allowlist for more details.

    Best Regards,
    Tianyu

    Hello,
    Thanks for the response.
    Only adding this url doesnt solve the problem I am behind the proxy, I will check by adding these allow list additions.
