Dennis and I have been tracking this down off-list.

The culprit was Zone Alarm (v 2.6 - the free version), which Dennis had
installed, but was 'not running' since his network topology had changed
since his installing it. When Zone Alarm was started up, setup.exe was able
to access the mirror list and complete a normal insall.

For the archives,
Rob
