Elixir Installer For Windows
Hi all,
I’m trying to use the Windows Installer for Elixir to install on Win 10. I run the installer and it gets to the point where it tries to download precompiled.zip and it fails. I have no doubt it’s a corporate firewall that’s blocking the download. What I was wondering is if anyone could suggest any way to workaround this? That is, download precompiled.zip manually and then point the installer at the downloaded location or something of that sort? It does seem to successfully download the OTP stuff–just balks on the precompiled.zip as far as I can tell.
FWIW,
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Tried copying over the $HOME/.hex directory as well then? I think on Windows $HOME was something like C:\Users\<YOU>\AppData\Roaming or close to it.

At one company I worked for years ago the devs ran our own VPN server at an external host to circumvent this kind of thing. I ran into one of the senior IT guys from that company later, who told me they knew about it, but made no fuss because they didn’t want too much scrutiny because they didn’t want knowledge of a porn server they ran for senior management to leak far. Seriously. I conceived a loathing then and there for the Australian business and tech world and tried to keep as far from it as I could consistent with surviving. It’s not quite as bad now from my few recent contacts with it.
