Thanks for the reply.
I will do the full dl for DVD.
I checked every screen and still got some unwanted stuff with the Lite
install.
I will try it again since you found it handy.
BTW, the full version is only a dl of less than a MB, so it must connect to
the web for the rest of the dl.
Right now I am leery of it but will try to get the full dl from the 88.4kb
dl that I got while trying for the full dl for DVD dl.
