Hi,

so I have got windows Vista at my workplace, unfortunatelly
without internet connection.
I've found this:
http://groups.google.com/group/camelbox/browse_thread/thread/413592ff52b2a924/816f3816c34d59e4?lnk=gst&q=local#816f3816c34d59e4
and this
http://code.google.com/p/camelbox/wiki/InstallingCamelbox
but no luck with local installation so far, I was trying with:
http://localhost/path/to/my/files
localhost/path/to/my/files
file:///path/to/my/files
C:/path/to/my/files

I'm sure I'm missing something trivial, any help will be
appreciated. ;]

This message describes unpacking archive files by hand. It will work,
but it would take a while to download and install all of the files.
You would also need a copy of the lzma.exe binary to do this.

This would work, but only if you have a webserver running on your
Vista machine, and the webserver could see your /path/to/your/files
directory.

> C:/path/to/my/files

These won't work. The only protocol that the installer currently
supports for downloading files is HTTP, i.e. a webserver. Doesn't
Vista have some kind of personal webserver you can download from
Microsoft, or maybe a free webserver you can download and install.

I'd like to be able to tell the installer to use files on a local hard
drive, but it's pretty low on the priorty list.

Does that answer your question?

Thanks,

Brian

Install camelbox on a system with an internet connection, copy the C:\camelbox directory to your other computer without an internet connection via flash drive, cd, whatever. Add C:\camelbox\bin to your system path.
