O.K. Finally got around it!!! Here's how I did it.
I went to Source Forge for the stable download but my computer (Vista Op Sys) kept unzipping the package to temporary internet folder and that's where the installer kept going for upload and it kept failing.
I resolved it by dragging the unzipped folder from the temporary internet folder to another folder on my desk top. When I now used the installer to browse to the comprofiler package in the desktop folder it successfully installed... viola!
Hope this helps anyone else who may have an installation problem.
