I install also from a local mirror, not signed ini files (yet) and I haven't had any problems. I happen to have installed a new machine just this week so I know this also works OK. If there is a setup.xz, setup.ini shouldn't even be looked at and consequently no setup.ini.xz file should be required. > And even then, setup doesn't seem to work right on the local mirror. > The only choices it gives me on the local packages are "Keep" and > "Uninstall". That would indicate it hasn't actually found any packages in whatever it used as setup.ini. What's your directory layout? I can't make any sense of what's happening for you. Your local mirror should look like: mirror /x86 /setup.xz /setup.xz.sig /x86_64 /setup.xz /setup.xz.sig and setup should be pointed at "mirror". I've just went through a whole battery of testing setup in both local mirror mode, both using my usual scripts and via a shortcut to add an "-mX" option to the invocation. Leaving out the "-X" has setup complain about the missing signature as intended. Everything else works correctly for me. For download-only mode, setup doesn't write the signature file to disk, so that will have to be corrected. Oh and another thing: I always compile my own setup.exe, so if you can do that to see if it makes a difference for you?
