In situations where the box that SharePoint is to be installed on does not have access to the internet, the pre-requisites need to be installed manually rather than through the installation interface.
To achieve this type of install, all of the installation packages for the pre-requisites need to be downloaded and transferred to the box. Then the pre-requisites installer can be run and configured to pick up the local location rather than try to download the versions from the web.
