Bug Description

How can I do an offline Install of the Power Query SDK für VSC?

Our ProxyServer and Firewall do not allow access to Nuget. Downloading and Installing the VSIX File triggers a call to download the Nuget file. Downloading the file and providing it doesn't work. Copying the complete Install from a working client (not behind the proxy) doesn't work.

Whenever starting VSC or trying to work with the SDK this error comes: "Failed to update PowerQuery.SdkTools package due to socket hang up".

What is needed for an offline Install to work?

Steps to Reproduce

Have a Proxy that blocks traffic to Nuget
Install VSIX file for Power Query / M Language
Install VSIX file for Power Query SDK
Copy the .vscode\extensions\powerquery.vscode-powerquery-sdk-0.2.3-win32-x64 from a working installation
Start VSC -> Error
Open a PBI Custom Connector Project and try to evaluate. - > error

Actual Experience

Power Query SDK does not work allthough it seems all necessary files are there

Expected Experience

Power Query SDK works.

Additional Context

No response

No source file or test is named. Start by reproducing the blocked-NuGet setup with the Power Query SDK VSIX and the copied extension directory, then trace the package update behavior. Done means the SDK starts and evaluates a Power BI Custom Connector without requiring NuGet access.
