My thought was that on a download only there should be a redownload option but 
not a reinstall option - (obvious here).  On an install from local directory 
there should be reinstall and not a redownload (pretty obvious here to) and on 
the install from internet I should be doing a redownload to my local cache and 
then install from my local cache.  If I only wanted to install from my local 
cache - why would I not select install from local directory instead of install 
from internet?

Ie - I agree with Earnie
