Installation: Products downloading into the wrong folder

1 view (last 30 days)
Hi all,
I'm trying to install Matlab2014b in Windows 7 via the Mathworks installer. As you know, there is no possibility to set the downloads folder for the products, and the issue is that the installer is trying to download them on a network drive that is simply not big enough.
I changed the default Windows downloads folder, and even the Temp one, which worked in the past with other software, but it's not helping at all here.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

I just tried again and got the same nonsense. Is anyone else able to download? I wanted to download from my home computer because I can use their download manager and get everything (all toolboxes) in one shot because if I do it from work some firewall problem won't let me do it and I have to download around 18 files one by one - very tedious. Even if I wanted to download 18 files at home, I don't even get that chance - all I get is the above nonsense immediately. Is there an alternate link other than the one you get by clicking on their main home page? At this point my only option is to wait until Monday and call installation help.
