If the Policy Manager or Policy Manager Proxy host does not have a direct internet connection, specify the HTTP proxy configuration as 'PROXY_SERVER' MSI argument for example by running an MSI file from the command line and passing the arguments to it:

msiexec /i policy-manager.msi PROXY_SERVER=http://proxy.example.com:8080
