Thanks Robert and Chris, but that didn't help after all... In fact I got exactly the same results as before, including the lockup after downloading setup.ini. (That file being 98939 bytes long.) So the problem remains unsolved.
Looking inside setup.ini, I note that it starts (apart from comments) with the following two lines: setup-timestamp: 1020997207 setup-version: 2.194.2.26 This doesn't match the version of setup.exe that your link led to, which was 2.218.2.4... I'm not sure if these need to match up or not, but it might be a clue (I hope).
