Error durring oDesk installation

I have downloaded the oDesk software and tried to install it.  I run the program, and step through the install process.  When the setup program tries to download I get an error downloading dialog.  I have tried running the setup as an administrator, and actually logging into the admin account to run the program.  I have redownloaded the software many times, and made sure I downloaded the windows version.  Nothing seems to work.

 I looked at the html proxy settings, and they are all empty.  I know I am not using a proxy, but should those have anything in them?

 Thank you in advance,

Phil

 p.s. I have attached a screen shot of the error dialog I am getting.

p.p.s I am running Vista if it matters

Possible that your firewall

Possible that your firewall block access to Internet for oDeskSetup.exe. Please check this.

oDeskSetup.exe starts to download oDesk Preferences. Please tell me - do you see that oDeskSetup.exe downloads some bytes of Preferences or you get 'Error downloading' in very begining ?

If nothing helps (you are sure that your firewall does not block oDeskSetup.exe) - please run oDeskSetup.exe with command-line switch '-log' ('oDeskSetup.exe -log'). Try to reproduce bug, close oDeskSetup. Pack file 'oDeskSetup.exe.log' (in the same folder where oDeskSetup.exe is placed). Send packed logs to me. My email is my username plus '@odesk.com'.
