Error trying to import Nuget PackageProvider

I have a computer behind a proxy and trying to get the Nuget package provider installed. I ran Install-PackageProvider -Name Nuget on a different PC on a different network and copied Nuget folder to $env:ProgramFiles\PackageManagement\ProviderAssemblies.

If I run Get-PackageProvider -ListAvailable it shows Nuget available.

PS C:\Windows\system32> Get-PackageProvider -ListAvailable

Name                     Version          DynamicOptions
----                     -------          --------------

msu                      3.0.0.0

However when I try to run Import-PackageProvider -Name Nuget I get the following error:

PS C:\Windows\system32> Import-PackageProvider -Name Nuget
Import-PackageProvider : No match was found for the specified search criteria and provider name 'Nuget'. Try 'Get-PackageProvider -ListAvailable' to see if the provider exists on the system.At line:1 char:1
+ Import-PackageProvider -Name Nuget
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidData: (Nuget:String) [Import-PackageProvider], Exception 
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : NoMatchFoundForCriteria,Microsoft.PowerShell.PackageManagement.Cmdlets.ImportPackageProvider

Any suggestions? Thank you!

I was able to work around the proxy by using the following:

$wc = New-Object System.Net.WebClient
$wc.Proxy.Credentials = [System.Net.CredentialCache]::DefaultNetworkCredentials
$wc.Proxy.Address = "http://proxyurl"

Once I did this I was able to use Install-PackageProvider Nuget to install the proivder.
