Answer 1

This error could also occur if your computer is behind corporate firewall. The easiest solution is to NOT use installer, but download versioned archive using the following link https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/downloads-versioned-archives, then follow the instructions on the page e.g. for windows run

.\google-cloud-sdk\install.bat

We should consider to add proxy setting also,set HTTP_PROXY=http://<proxy host>:80 set HTTPS_PROXY=http://<proxy host>:80 – Stedman

I had HTTP(S)_PROXY configured, it was not the issue for me. I had this issue for over 6 weeks and this the obvious troubleshooting steps – Al

Answer 2

When i tried to install it today,i had the same issue,i figured out that it was the antivirus installed in my system which was creating the issue,either disable it for a while or change the settings to give download permission.
