OK, did that. but still no go.
Please see the screen-dump.
It still makes 0 kb files, and it even stalls with "sqlexpr32_ENG.exe"
I have tried to go to the URL from where deploytool seems to download the files from ---
Homepage of install.team-mediaportal.com ... but didn't find any files to download.
Regarding Proxy - not that I'm aware off. I have a normal PC - nothing special here.
Do you have another suggestion for me to try?
