If you do not have internet access, you can install the plug-ins in offline mode using the Microsoft Windows Installer (MSI) on the Enterprise Client. Installing the plug-ins enables you to access the UI objects in certain applications. You can install the Adobe Flex, Microsoft Silverlight, Google Chrome, and Java plug-ins in offline mode.
