I have Windows Vista x64. I get to the par= t that wants to pick a download site. None are listed, it should automatica= lly find the sites for me.

Normally when a program wants access to the internet, my= firewall triggers and asks me if I want to let the program through. This s= etup program seems to not even try to get to the internet.
