I have provided the proxy host and Proxy port correctly which worked fine for the previous versions (v32.0, v34.0).

Also, We faced the same issue for the previous versions (32, 34) of dataloader and we installed the certificate(valid till 2019) under the below path, after that it’s worked fine without any issues.

C:\Program Files (x86)\salesforce.com\Data Loader\Java\lib\security\cacerts

But in the latest version we don’t see these Java, Lib,Security folders in the Dataloader folder.

Can anyone please let me know how to install a certificate for latest version?

As per the latest release notes documented here

Salesforce no longer bundles Java with the Data Loader for Windows installer. Download and install Java on your Windows computer.

We recommend that you set the JAVA_HOME environment variable to the directory where the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is installed. Doing so ensures that you can run Data Loader in batch mode from the command line.

So you will have to find your JAVA folder yourself (It will be where your Java folder is located after Java or JRE 1.8 Installation) and you can search for lib folder and continue placing certificate there

Also there is an option for oauth which is more easier and directly takes you to browser and authenticates which might be easiest bet for newer versions

    That's annoying. Why would they unbundle like that?
