This, no doubt, is a question which definitely places me among the goats rather than the sheep, but just how does one go about downloading that MSI file in case one receives the sort of error message mentioned here ? Where does on find it ? And how does one separate it, if necessary, from accompanying files in order to download it alone ?

They solved it by downloading the MSI file for 2.0.2 and re-installed 2.0.2. They could then remove 2.0.2 and continue with the installation of 2.0.4 (or 2.1 which was released a few days ago).
