Any reason for installing this old unsupported version? I guess it is also the reason for the failure as the files on the internet are unavailable now. –gertvdijk Dec 27 '12 at 18:49 @gertvdijk Yes, that is the cause. There is still a bug to be reported, though, even though fundamentally the issue here is not a bug. See my answer for details. –Eliah Kagan Dec 27 '12 at 20:00 add a comment| 2 Answers 2 active oldest votes up vote 6 d

The error says to check a log file in the local settings folder. This log file finishes with http error the lines shown below. I think the installation should be able to find everything from the web download and install. What am I doing wrong?
