But as I understand it, setup.exe ignores the cache and

has been actually installed. So if you don't get all the
files you want in a
single session, and don't install, then you have problems.

I'm confused. Isn't that exactly what Charles said? It ignores the
cache and re-downloads everything?
No.
Charles said that setup *ignores* the caches and skips what is
installed.
I said that setup will redownload what is in the cache.
I still don't understand the difference. He says it ignores the cache
and downloads it all again. You say it ignores the cache and downloads
it all again. Exactly the same thing.
Perhaps you need to reread the thread then because your paraphrase does
not match what's been said. Certainly I can understand your confusion
based on the result of your paraphrase.
