Great information! I was revisiting my SourceForge entries in Ketarin occasionally, but more or less gave up on them. Now I just spoofed user agent to "curl" in settings and just like that - those entries work again without any trouble.

The only variable is used in some is {file}. Is Internet connection required to resolve it? I am just installing (not updating and installing, file is updated and in place). Here is XML export of one of problematic ones: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> - <Jobs> - <ApplicationJob xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" Guid="ff96c460-a905-472d-a3c0-3340be783ba4"> - <SourceTemplate> - <![CDATA[ ]]> </SourceTemplate> <WebsiteUrl /> <UserAgent /> <UserNotes /> <LastFileSize>2826192</LastFileSize> <LastFileDate>2010-09-21T19:40:37.859375</LastFileDate> <IgnoreFileInformation>false</IgnoreFileInformation> <DownloadBeta>Default</DownloadBeta> <DownloadDate xsi:nil="true" /> <CheckForUpdatesOnly>false</CheckForUpdatesOnly> <VariableChangeIndicator /> <CanBeShared>true</CanBeShared> <ShareApplication>false</ShareApplication> <ExclusiveDownload>false</ExclusiveDownload> <HttpReferer /> - <SetupInstructions> - <SetupInstruction xsi:type="StartProcessInstruction"> <EnvironmentVariables /> <FileName>{file}</FileName> <Parameters>-install</Parameters> </SetupInstruction> </SetupInstructions> <Variables /> <ExecuteCommand /> <ExecutePreCommand /> <ExecuteCommandType>Batch</ExecuteCommandType> <ExecutePreCommandType>Batch</ExecutePreCommandType> <Category /> <SourceType>FileHippo</SourceType> <PreviousLocation>c:\software\install_flash_player_ax.exe</PreviousLocation> <DeletePreviousFile>true</DeletePreviousFile> <Enabled>true</Enabled> <FileHippoId>flashplayer_ie</FileHippoId> <LastUpdated>2010-09-21T19:40:37.859375</LastUpdated> <TargetPath>c:\software\</TargetPath> <FixedDownloadUrl /> <Name>Flash Player (IE)</Name> </ApplicationJob> </Jobs>

I had configured setup instructions for bunch of software. For some it work fine, but some fail with "Unable to connect" (rough translation from localized message) when there is no Internet connection available. Simply turning on Internet connection makes it work just fine. I have a hunch that apps that fail are all set up with "FileHippo ID" because with network enabled I see connection going up to some CDN server that seems to be used by FileHippo. By the way many thanks for implementing setups! It's greatly useful feature and will let me forget lot of pain from maintaining silent install scripts.
