Note that installing with PPM avoids this problem. However, my target machines are not connected to the Internet, so PPM/Internet is not an option in my production environment.


So why not just set up your own PPM repository where your production machines can see it? Create a directory somewhere, get the zip files from ActiveState, and expand them into your directory.

From this point, I know that creating a virtual directory in (e.g.) IIS gets you an http repository, referred to by http://your_server/your_dir/.

It has been a while since I have messed with file: based repositories, but I doubt it's any more complicated. But in my case it was easier to convince the security people to punch a hole in an internal firewall for port 80 than it was to get the holes to make UNC file access work.
