Windows Server General Forum http. 2011 1:51:46 AM General discussion on Windows Server all versions: 2003, 2008. Use proxycfg -p proxy_server. Starting in Vista, Windows Server 2008 and Windows 7 you will no longer find the proxycfg.exe command. It has now been replaced with the netsh command. Tag: proxycfg.exe One-Liner: Setting Default Web Proxy for Windows Server 2003 and 2008. Our labs run a mix of Windows Server 2003 and 2008.

Hi All, Just wanted to share a solution with installing Windows Live when your computer is behind a proxy. This DEFINITELY applies to Windows Vista, and mostly applies to Windows XP. When you run Windows Live Installer, it will say 'checking your computer for windows live programs', then 'sorry, this is taking longer than expected' then fails saying 'To try to fix the problem, click 'Try again later' and we'll add the installer to your desktop so you can easily restart it later'. The Windows Live Installer doesn't use your Internet Explorer proxy settings. Instead, it uses the WinHTTP service. You configure proxy settings for WinHTTP *separately* from Internet Explorer; 1) Login to Windows with administrative rights.

2) In a command prompt window, enter the following; netsh winhttp set proxy [proxy]:[port] for example, if your proxy server is called squid and is listening on port 3128, you would use netsh winhttp set proxy squid:3128 [Windows XP users use the proxycfg.exe tool] 3) Now run the Windows Live Installer (WLinstaller.exe) as normal. When you've successfully installed the software, the installers (MSI format) are stored at C: Program Files Common Files WindowsLiveInstaller MSISources These installers will work independently of the Windows Live Installer. That's to say, if you've got a brand new computer running Windows, you can install the MSI installers directly, without first having to install Windows Live Installer.

Kind regards, Anwar. >Hi All, >>Just wanted to share a solution with installing Windows Live when your >computer is behind a proxy. This DEFINITELY applies to Windows Vista, >and mostly applies to Windows XP.
