Error adding PyCall to Julia 0.5.2 on Windows server 2016

[sachin734]

Hi,

I am trying to install the PyCall package in Julia and getting the following error. Does any one has any clues as to how I can resolve it?

Thanks.

A problem with proxy settings or something? See JuliaPackaging/WinRPM.jl#57 for a similar error.

Windows server has enhanced security settings that don't allow you to download from arbitrary locations unless you whitelist the domain. I suspect that might be the issue.

@sachin734 can you go to Server Manger > Local Server and disable "IE Enhanced Security" ? That should work. Credit for the fix: @bmharsha
