Are you still experiencing this issue? if so, are you behind a proxy? Are you restricting access to some ports in your firewall? Did you try installing it as Administrator? – George

I had this issue tonight, and I was able to get by the error message by performing the following:

  1. Install Python 2.7
  2. Add Python install directory to PATH (my case: c:\Python27)
  3. Add System Variable CLOUDSDK_PYTHON to be python.exe in the Python install directory (my case: c:\Python27\python.exe)
  4. Install Google Cloud SDK

I had set the environment variable HTTPS_PROXY and forgotten about it. I just had to remove it to get this to work.

I guess you may have the opposite issue if you're behind a proxy so make sure you set it (or maybe HTTP_PROXY) to configure it.
