  Where are you looking for the log files?  Setup only puts them in $PWD for
the --help option; during a normal download/install they go in /var/log.

  Umm, and what's "-I /home/user"?  Did you misread the help text where it
mentions "-l" (lower-case L) and are trying to set the local package dir?
(Also, use a win32 path if that is the case.)

    cheers,
