I'm going to describe exactly how setup behaves for me. Explain carefully
how it differs for you.

Setup Splash Page [Next]
Choose a Download Source [Install from Local Directory, Next]
Select Root Install Directory [Next]
Select Local Package Directory [Next]
Progess [wait]
Select Packages [Make necessary choices in the package chooser thingy, Next]
Stuff gets installed.

i.e. it works just fine for me.

Max.
