Okay, first let me say that I feel the pain that you are going through - and you remind me on a weekly basis. :^)
I assume that your installer was somehow pointing to our installer files directly. And, it sounds like you understand that they can move because of legal issues with license and export restrictions, given your glowing review of our legal staff. :^) The only reliable place to point customers is the main download page. Once the auto-install server is up and running you will have a place to point to the files, but for now it is not possible. Not much of a help, but that is just the way things are right now.
