[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 798028, member: 82144"] Hi again Clive I don't think you've made any mistakes. Rather, what I'm saying is that when you install you have two approaches: 1. Install with internet. 2. Install without internet. If you install with internet then installation should be as simple as running the installer and selecting all your preferred options. If you attempt to install without access to the internet (as you have in this case - even though it is not what you're trying to do) then you have to provide all the packages that MP would otherwise download in a specific location. This is complicated and not recommended. To be clear, the error in the info you provided in your first post shows what the installer is trying to do: It is trying to download a file. This is because internet is not available (the installer told you this) and you have not provided the packages that the installer needs to install without the internet. Again, providing those packages is not the recommended approach unless you really don't have access to the internet. The recommended approach to solving this problem is to figure out why MP might think internet is unavailable and "fix" it. To be sure, right click on the install package and select "run as..." then fill in the credentials to run the installer with the administrator account. Okay. Has the laptop got multiple network connections like a wireless adapter *and* a wired adapter. If so, try disabling the one that is not connected to the internet before running the installer. To do this, go to control panel, select network connections, right click on an a connection that you want to disable and click disable. You can enable the connection again later with the same procedure except clicking enable instead of disable. mm [/QUOTE]
