That's what I suspect, yes.  You mentioned that you're
using
'Direct Connection to the Internet' for 'setup.exe'. 
Is that
the same method your browser uses to connect to the
Internet?

Yes, in the sense that I use Roadrunner and the
setting there
is "Direct Connection to the Internet". So, if I were
to
try the HTTP or FTP methods, what should I use for the

proxy? One of the entries in the mirrors list? I tried

the one in Virginia for  and the one
in
Tennessee , but did not get
anywhere.

thanks

Can you reach  from

an

These messages are no problem.  Setup checks for McAfee
because it is known to cause setup problems.  As the
message notes, "McAfee may not be installed,...", which
is true in your case.
