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!
This is wrong!

Once you have performed the Download only ONLINE, you have all software in %TEMP% ( default unpack directory ) and so you can copy everything from there ( and yes there is also the XML file ) on another computer and install OFFLINE.

Next version of the installer will unpack on "%TEMP%\MediaPortal Install" as default and will open this directory once download_only actions are completed.

In the hope to have all users happy
