Hi Bruce, etc.

The below news is somewhat distressing for those of us who have no Internet 
connection at all on our development workstations and have to use others 
(non-development machines) to get such access. Is downloading the /layout way 
and then (say) moving a directory or something going to work, or does /layout 
change other things (registry)? If it is going to work, will the procedure be 
well documented? If not, what do you propose people in my sort of situation to 
do?

(And if Visual Studio 2011 works either of those ways we're going to be in a 
world of hurt here ...)

/layout just gets any .cab or .msi files that the installer needs. When you run 
the bootstrapper without /layout it still does all the registry operations etc. 
but will use the local files instead of downloading them again.
