[QUOTE="andrewNZ, post: 610194, member: 103513"] You can install MediaPortal without an internet connection, but you do need the files to install or already installed. I got sick of always downloading files when I installed it, so i copied the files from the install directory and paste them back during an install. The install files live in (win7/vista) C:\Users\{logged in user}\AppData\Local\Temp\MediaPortal Installation\deploy\ (WinXP) C:\Documents and settings\... I'd suggest that the easiest way (but not the only way) would be to take it to work and run the installer but choose the "download files only" option rather than the "install now" option. If you choose the install option, as soon as the install is done the files are deleted. Once the files are downloaded go to the directory and copy them to somewhere else so you have a copy for next time. (there is always a next time) To copy the files back to the directory for an install, you need to first start the installer and proceed to the summary page (I'm sure it has a real name) and rather than click install, click previous. Now you can copy the files in and proceed with the install. Hope this helps. There might be better ways to do things, but this works for me.
