OK, let's go through this step by step. The installation directory is created (C:\Temp\freenet-install\), and there's two files inside: freenet.exe (56kB) and NodeConfig.exe (66kB). No signs of readme, freenet-ext.jar (but I still have it in my install dir though), freenet-latest.jar or freenet.jar, and Uninstall.exe.
Now about permissions: I don't know why, but parent dir (C:\Temp\) always have "read-only" flag grayed out (showing that some files inside are read-only, but that's not true - all are writeable...), but sub-dir is ok, "read-only" flag is not checked. The other thing is that whole drive C: is ntfs-compressed, including C:\Temp\ :) But, unfortunately, removing compression doesn't change the situation :( Manually creating dir doesn't helps too. And, of course, I'm installing it from local drive. About running Freenet from command line - I'll check it and reply ASAP.
