windows 8 Simple question: windows 8 behind tmg proxy - cannot install any apps from marketplace. Get this err

[News Bot]

Very simple scenario: corporate network, TMG 2010 used as PROXY to browse Internet. WPAD is used (i.e. auto-configuration is in place). Everything by the book and works as charm for many years with no issues or glitches.

Installed Windows 8 Professional, fully activated, but cannot access Internet from any METRO-UI application. Marketplace APP is opening but cannot install anything - see screenshot below. Checked TMG (first thing) for any blocked destinations - no issue,

all green. Even allowed ALL traffic from Windows 8 computer to Internet - still no luck.

Checked Internet, and apparently LOTS of people have the same issue. Tried all possible solutions (netsh proxy, gpedit.msc, etc.) but nothing works. If I connect computer directly to Internet (e.g. ROGERS) then of course everything is working. It looks

like METRO-UI apps trying to go directly to Internet and do not go to PROXY.

Question: how to make this thing work. Is there any solution to-date?

Thanks!
