Installing the full redistributable package : At the bottom of the license agreement page it display this text: Size of download file: 67 MB Appoximate download time: 2h 44min (56 KBit/s) 18min (512 KBit/s) It shows the text even if I installed Windows Installer 3.1.

Total Download Status: 56 MB/67 MB I tried it in a VM with no network connection. It tries 5 times while the progress bar shows progress. Later the progress bar is labeled Installation.
