Is there a way to get the trial installation to download everything the 
first time, without having to babysit it and answer all the prompts that say 
it failed to extract the downloaded data, which hasn't yet been downloaded?

(I've had to respond to about four such inquiries so far, and am doubting I 
have the patience if there are many more of these, spread over how many 
hours it takes to download the 500MB-1GB of data the web page indicated may 
be necessary.)

Thanks.

It appears the prompts time-out after some period of time, and try the 
download anyway...

A counter indicating that a countdown timeout is happening would have been a 
nice addition to the dialog, for future reference.  Probably still would be 
for future downloading installers. :)
