Try to add double quote to your commands :
NPM CONFIG SET PROXY = "http://<domain>%5C<username>:<passwordwith#>@ddcrpit311v1.corp.<company>.global:8080"and :
NPM CONFIG SET HTTPS-PROXY = "http://<domain>%5C<username>:<passwordwith#>@ddcrpit311v1.corp.<company>.global:8080"This has worked for me. ;)
