Sorry about the previous message, I accidentally hit "Send."

I have tried the installer you list above but get the compile time error that I previously posted.

The installer tries to ftp something from Nvidia.com, but we can't ftp directly out of the Bank network for security reasons.  We have to use a client which can go through am ftp proxy.  I am not sure how to make the Nvidia script use the proxy.
