How to use HP Support Assistant with and proxy PAC file.

[MartinJLittle]

Our organisation has just changed our proxy config and now delivers the settings with a PAC file and HP Support Assistant is now no longer able to download messages and update definitions.

I'm lead to believe that HPSA uses the values direct from the Internet Options applet (Or the Win10 Settings if you go that way.), and I have confirmed that if I manually enter the IP address and port from the PAC there that HPSA operates correctly. I cannot however, effectively roll-back a change that was made for good reason on thousands of devices for just this.

Is there some way of setting the proxy just for HPSA or getting it to use a PAC?
