I tried again last night (we have a dial-up connection) and this time 
I got through to the dialog that said it had obtained a list of the 
files that must be downloaded and that I must run the installer 
again. I did. After it downloaded a couple files it timed out and 
told me to try again later. I was successful after about 7 or 8 
attempts. Each time it would download a few more files and then time 
out. I suppose I could have waited till a less busy time of the day.

Thanks again!!
