Intallation problem using GoogleCloudSDKInstaller.exe on Windows 8

[Senthil]

Part 1

=====

I am new to the google cloud sdk and could even install it in my system using the GoogleCloudSDKInstaller.exe

Strangely, I am not getting any error to report and it ends with a message that sdk has been successfully install on my computer.

I also see that the (system) PATH variable has been modified to include the installed directory.

But the install directory is almost blank without any "gcloud.exe" or any executable files. 

Below are the new dir/files that got created after the installation.

10/31/2014  12:00 PM               282 cloud_env.bat

10/31/2014  12:00 PM    <DIR>          google-cloud-sdk

and inside the  <DIR>          google-cloud-sdk there is again an python installation file as below.

04/11/2014  04:46 PM             2,504 install_google_cloud_sdk.py

I checked the firewall and also made exceptions to GoogleCloudSDKInstaller.exe and python.exe.

Part 2

=====

Then I tried downloading zip archive and extracted the contents and ran the install.bat file. I am getting the below error 

 raise URLFetchError(extra_repo=extra_repo) googlecloudsdk.core.updater.snapshots.URLFetchError: Failed to fetch component listing from server. Check your network settings and try again.

I am not sure what am I missing and any help/pointer is appreciated.

SOLVED.

For some reason, my anti-virus was down and when I brought it up manually, all started working.

Hope this helps someone :)

Hey Senthil,

I am currently facing the same problem as you are. My anti-virus is up-to-date and see no reason for it to interfere (I've even tried after disabling it). I am behind a corporate proxy, though I have set all relevant system environment variables I can think of (http_proxy, HTTP_PROXY, and even proxy). I am using windows 7. Grateful for any help!
