[QUOTE="macmr, post: 1295111, member: 115062"] Ok so final update. As in my original post the download of MS SQL Express 2005 fails which in the following posts questioned why it was even needed. And this appears to be a valid point as it appears as though MySQL 5.6 is the preferred option anyway so why try and download it? The other problem with the "download files only option" is that when it can't actually download MS SQL Express 2005 after a number of attempts then the downloader just quits and doesn't download any more of the components after that spot in the sequence. So while the subsequent files are probably there to actually download then because the downloader just stops you end up with an incomplete package because of a failed file download that probably isn't even needed. Now I can't say what would happen if an error occurred earlier in the download sequence but I suspect that the downloader would just stop wherever the problem happened. Just seems a sudden way to handle an error. [/QUOTE]
