I'm sorry but you're misleading:

1. Mediaportal 0.2.3 can be installed OFFLINE.
That means i can download mediaportal, turnoff the internet. Switch to my admin account, and install mediaportal
successfully.

2. Mediaportal rc1 can only be installed ONLINE.
That means i must download mediaportal, leave the internet on, switch to my admin account, and install
mediaportal
Even if select the "download for offline install", i still need the internet connection to download first! Then only
can i turn off the internet for offline install!

Here's the screenshot of mediaportal, and i've underlined the line that states "Mediaportal needs be installed ONLINE".

Regardless of what option i select to install, in the end, if i dont have an internet connection, this is the error message i get:

Its just one tiny XML file! Why cant it be included in the install file for download? Mediaportal 0.2.3 can be installed completely offline!
