I know this question is dated now, but I had a similar issue trying to install Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 behind a firewall.

This is what helped me: Usually you have to install by elevating to admin privileges. I had to first run Iexplorer.exe as administrator (go to where it's installed, like "C:\Program Files\internet explorer" and right click iexplore.exe and select "Run as administrator"), then open up the settings -> Internet Options -> Connections -> Lan settings. Update the proxy setting to match what is configured in your Iexplorer under your normal user account. The installer should now be able to auto-detect proxy setting under the administrator account and download and install correctly.
