Can't install extensions

[s5rockhoppers]

Prerequisites

• Can you reproduce the problem with Debug -> Reload Without Extensions? N/A
• Did you perform a cursory search to see if your bug or enhancement is already reported?
• Did you read the Troubleshooting guide?

Description

When trying to install an extension or theme an error message pops up stating "Installation failed. Unknown internal error." This happens when trying to install from a URL or zip file. It will work if I download the extension manually and put it in the extensions directory however. If I try and remove the manually installed extension it will not do it. I get an error stating "Unable to remove one or more extensions: {extension name is placed here}. Brackets will still reload." Disabling does work wither although t here is no error message with that. I had Brackets 1.7 installed earlier and had no problems. I completely uninstalled 1.7 including all residual directories/extensions before installing 1.8. I am behind a firewall (at work).

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open Brackets with extensions enabled
2. Go into extension manager.
3. Choose an extension to install
4. As soon as you click on the install button for the extension the error message will come up stating the installation failed.

Expected behavior: Extension is installed and Brackets is restarted if necessary.

Actual behavior: Error message pops up saying "Installation failed. Unknown internal error."

Versions

Windows 7 32-bit
Brackets 1.8 (build 1.8.0-17108)

I have the same problem. For me 1.8 works, but only if I'm not behind a proxy. If I'm behind a proxy (with the proxy preference set) it fails immediately with the error mentioned above. 1.7 works both behind a proxy or not.

Here's the entire console output (1.8, behind a proxy w/proxy pref):

If you are on a 32 bit platform could you try this workaround?
