Still not following *why* this should be happening. I was installing from my harddrive -- nothing needed to be cached as far as I was concerned. Indeed, I would normally think I could install while offline -- and often do on my PCs which are "air-gapped." Still wondering why, all of a sudden after years of using a firewalled msiexec.exe, I get it now trying to connect out while installing 3.4.0b2 from my harddrive...? > > > My firewall didn't complain when I installed 3.4.0b2 on Windows. > > > I don't use the Windows firewall, and I have mine sent to block > > all apps connecting in or out unless I make specific rules for > > them.
