With the introduction of metro interface in Windows 8, you can install and use the apps from the App Store.
But it requires a direct internet connection. For using the app store on a Proxy Server like in IITM, it has to be properly configured.
I will show you a few methods for it.
1. Go to Start. Type cmd. Right Click on it and select 'Run as Admistrator'.
You will see the following:
C:\windows\system32>
Now run the command:
C:\windows\system32>netsh
It will reflect as:
netsh>
Now type:
netsh> winhttp
netsh winhttp>
Enter the following:
set proxy hproxy.iitm.ac.in:3128
You will see that the WinHTTP proxy settings have changed.
Try to run the app store.
If not, go to the following method.
2. On Desktop, press windows+R.
Type wsreset.exe and run the command.
Try the app store now.
Congo!
