Error Checking for Update/Error creating the Web Proxy specified in the 'system.net/defaultProxy' configuration section

[GoogleCodeExporter]

NB: First check the wiki and existing issues!

What version of Procurement are you using? On what operating system?
1.54, Windows 7

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Opening up procurement, a window reading "error checking for updates, 
details logged to DebugInfo.log" will pop up. Here is the debug info:

System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: An exception occurred during the 
operation, making the result invalid.  Check InnerException for exception 
details. ---> System.Net.WebException: An exception occurred during a WebClient 
request. ---> System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException: Error creating 
the Web Proxy specified in the 'system.net/defaultProxy' configuration section. 
---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: The parameter is incorrect

   at System.Net.AutoWebProxyScriptEngine.AutoDetector.Initialize()
   at System.Net.AutoWebProxyScriptEngine..ctor(WebProxy proxy, Boolean useRegistry)
   at System.Net.WebProxy.UnsafeUpdateFromRegistry()
   at System.Net.Configuration.DefaultProxySectionInternal..ctor(DefaultProxySection section)
   at System.Net.Configuration.DefaultProxySectionInternal.GetSection()
   --- End of inner exception stack trace ---

   --- End of inner exception stack trace ---
   at System.ComponentModel.AsyncCompletedEventArgs.RaiseExceptionIfNecessary()
   at Procurement.Utility.VersionChecker.client_DownloadStringCompleted(Object sender, DownloadStringCompletedEventArgs e)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect to be able to log in and use procurement. However, when I try to log 
in there is another error, which is detailed below.

Please provide any additional information below.

When I attempt to log in anyway, there is another error: 

Error creating the Web Proxy specified in the 'system.net/defaultProxy' 
configuration section.

I'd like to thank you for making this program, and appreciate any effort you 
make in order to improve it. I hope to hear from you soon

Are you running Procurement from a network share or going through a proxy ie: 
have a proxy set in the settings file?

Thanks for the support, I'll endeavor to get your issue sorted.

I have no experience with programming, but I think I am running Procurement 
through network share. I do not see a proxy set in my settings file. Here it is:

Are you still experiencing this issue? 

What I meant by a "network share" was if you were downloading Procurement on 
and then running it from another pc, but from the drive on the pc you 
downloaded it from, or from a flash drive.
