<DIV><SPAN class=847213323-26022009><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am assuming this
is because the install program is not aware of my proxy settings. I am behind a
corporate firewall. Is there any way to give the installer the proxy settings?
If not, is there a better alternative to ordering a DVD? </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
