Cool folks...got back to my mom's and did the pre-install of .net...and she is a sketchupper (I am sure there is a prettier term of art for that) now!

My mom's house is in 'the country' and still has no internet! So...I am wondering if I can install Sketchup for her by somehow pre-installing the .net stuff the installer seems to be going to Microsoft sites for and just skip to the part where the app itself is transferred. Thank you for thinking about this unusual situation...though in some parts of the world maybe not soooo unusual! ;o)))
