I just did something similar, which worked apart from the problem I
posted before yours. I downloaded (only) to my D:/ drive, then switched
my C:/ drive to a new installation with no internet access, and
installed (only) from the files on the D:/ drive. It follows that if you
preserve the file structure it should work. CD's are cheap, I suggest
you try again. If it's the file names that are a problem, use zip.
