When I try to install the game from my cd drive I get a "resolving hostname" error. I followed the directions to the "T", even putting all the downloads in the same folder, and installer 0.4.0 still gives me this error. I burned the copy at a friends because I have an extremely slow connection.

Fot or not?

Is your Internet connection active when you try to install? It seems the installer is still trying to access the Internet and failing.
Have you properly selected the correct directory as the installation source?

Best do it (if you're trying the windows version, that is) by starting command (WIN+R; wait for pop-up window, then command [Enter]) then switching to the install directory using old DOS commands (e.g. D: for CD-drive, D being the letter of the CD-Drive; then CD thedirwherefiles/are/burned/to [Enter] uqm-0.4.0-win32-installer.exe [Enter] being the name of the installer file) In windows using the explorer you are looking at one directory, but the active one is another one.
Just as a comment, enjoy! Krulle

C'mon guys I am following all the prompts and selecting the right directories. The problem is in the installer. Have any of you people making suggestions actually installed the game from a folder on your computer? I get a resolving host name error no matter what I do, or if I am connected to the internet it starts downloading the files.

Ok, it looked pretty straight forward to me. Start the installer, at some point, it will ask you for a directory where you may have pre-downloaded content. Either browse to, or key in your location.
If it won't look for these files on your CD, try copying the whole thing to your HD.
