@zzz08900 What is the value of the HTTP_PROXY environment variable? Or, I guess, GLOBAL_AGENT.HTTP_PROXY?

This appears to be a regression from #214

For some reason, the following environment variables are set to undefined in the new release version 1.14.0 GLOBAL_AGENT_HTTP_PROXY, GLOBAL_AGENT_HTTPS_PROXY, GLOBAL_AGENT_NO_PROXY.

I've resolved this issue by downgrading the get package to the previous version 1.13.1.

I've resolved the dependency manually in my package.json file by adding
"resolutions": { "@electron/get": "1.13.1" },

I've tried to unset those environment variables, but they are still present for some reason.

@NixerSo5 I encountered the same issue when installing the alpha version and the nightly version. It seems that only the stable version has fixed this bug. My solution is：

$env:ELECTRON_GET_USE_PROXY=1
$env:GLOBAL_AGENT_HTTP_PROXY="http://127.0.0.1:7890"
# Don't chang GLOBAL_AGENT_HTTPS_PROXY

However, it still took me 40 minutes to install electron@v28.0.0-alpha.2. (While installing the stable version only took me a few seconds.
