Hello,
our development network at work is offline. How to install packages then? Tried latest installer 0.9.3.2 System is Win XP SP3. Cheers, Mark

At the moment it appears the installer refuses to proceed if it can't contact the main mirror ( winkde.org ). As a result it is impossible without internet access. However it would be possible to extract the contents of the required packages manually on the machines, but some files will need to go in certain locations so you will need to talk with the KDE Windows team on where to copy them to, and what files you will need to download from the mirrors.

1- download all files from
http://www.winkde.org/pub/kde/ports/win ... ble/4.1.2/ into a local dir outside of the kde installation dir (to have an msvc installation exclude the files with mingw in the filename, for a mingw installation download exclude the files with the term msvc in the name) or use the installer to select and download the required packages. When the installer is going to install the packages cancel this process, move the files from the download directory to a directory on the target pc including the config.txt file. 2- Then start the installer with the path of the directory where the downloaded package are located as command line parameter, Kdewin-installer-gui-latest file:///: select the required packages and let the installer install it. In further versions of the installer this feature will be implemented more user friendly. ps: stolen from kde-windows mailing list

I tried that too some weeks ago after discussing on IRC.
It ends up like this: http://www.rakekniven.de/images/gallery ... =error.jpg The windows devs know that already. Cheers, Mark

I just reinstalled kde on my windows box, without net connection, kde 4.1 with kdewin-insaller version 0.9.3-1.
Make sure you have config.txt in your repository. In my case the kde files and the kdeinstaller are in : D:download> D:download>kdewin-installer-gui-0.9.3-1.exe file:///d:/download Btw, if you introduce a wrong repository, or a one without config.txt, the installer just ignore it, and then give the error message you have mentioned in your post.
