I had a I guess quite common situation:
I was assigned to deploy one of our MVC application on the Windows 2008 R2 server which has tightly locked down by the administrators - so no downloads from Internet.
Initial attempts to deploy using Web platform installer did not work. So thinking this is Web Platform Issue tried downloading 64 bit version and then installing that to find out that web platform was already installed. Seems like IIS on 2008 comes with installer? Don't know. So moved on to get 64 bit version of the MVC installer and landed to:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=4211
Just downloaded it-copied it to the server and BOOM! I was able to compile and deploy my application.
Not quite complex but just lost some time there. May be you can use this information. Good luck.
