I just did something similar, which worked apart from the problem I 
posted before yours. I downloaded (only) to my D:/ drive, then switched 
my C:/ drive to a new installation with no internet access, and 
installed (only) from the files on the D:/ drive. It follows that if you 
preserve the file structure it should work. CD's are cheap, I suggest 
you try again. If it's the file names that are a problem, use zip.
