Once you grab some pre-requisite files from the express install, you should
not need to visit the site again. Glad to hear that worked for you. If for
some reason that did not work, I would have directed you to my kb 915105
which has you run a command to uninstall the signature file. I am working on
a troubleshooting KB and that should be live soon
