[Qt-creator] Offline installer of 4.15 fails with no network connection

[Adam Light]

I downloaded the offline installer of Creator 4.15 (
https://download.qt.io/official_releases/qtcreator/4.15/4.15.0/qt-creator-opensource-windows-x86_64-4.15.0.exe)
and moved it to a machine without internet access. When I run the
installer, I see this:

How is "...or continue without internet connection" supposed to work when
the Next button is disabled?

Also, it is not very helpful to have the "Qt Installer FAQ" link to a
remote web page (https://wiki.qt.io/Ifw_FAQ) when there is no network
connection in the first place.

Is it now a requirement to have a live network connection to install Qt
Creator? If so, that conflicts with this sentence at the link given above:
  "Offline installer will try to connect to internet at startup, but if
connection is not found you can still continue installation."

Thanks
Adam
