I suspect that the installer still wants a gateway, name server, and network 
mask, even though that doesn't make any sense with a CTC.  Try adding this:
Gateway=199.42.190.45 Nameserver=199.42.190.45 Netmask=255.255.255.255

You might need to combine a couple of your shorter lines so you don't run over 
the length limit.
