Many thanks for that link :-))

I will report any success here.

And thanks for your warning too, I will ask our security manager before I will try this.

Update: I have the permission to try to set these environment variables temporally. So I will try to install the package, but I still have to wait for other processes before I can reboot my computer and try it out.

I will report later...

Update2: I tried the shown way this morning out, but it did not work :( ppm still tells me:

Any further idea what could help?

Update3: Now it worked so far, that I can search for Modules, but when I try to install I get the message

So I guess anything is still wrog with my Proxy Authentication (but the variables are set right as far as 'set' tells me).
