CRM 4.0 Installation and Domain Controller

Question
-
Hi there!
We want to evaluate CRM 4.0.
Therefore I've tried to install the downloadable CRM - Testversion and run into an error, that is allready known. It's because of not reachable Domain Controllers.
And: YES - DNS configuration is OK - the servers are still not available (are setup at the moment, no internet connection, ..).
And there is allready a Hotfix to solve this problem.
BUT: The Hotfix only installs if CRM 4.0 is installed, but I can't.. (chicken egg problem).
So I've searched for a newer installation file - but there isn't one with Rollup 1 (which includes this Hotfix).
So I've tried to slipstream the Rollups into the installation. That didn't work either.
I've searched everywhere and didn't find a solution for my problem (which isn't a DNS - Problem here). There must be a solution to handle this. I could install every other CRM - Software for evaluation without any problems. But we want to evaluate MS CRM 4, too, because we think, that it will perfectly fit our needs...
System:
CRM - Server: Windows Server 2003
DB - Server: SQL SErver 2008 (seperate Server with Windows Server 2008)
Please help!

Hi Markus,
Are you using an account that is a domain administrator AND a sql server administrator?
Also - since your server does not have internet connection, please look at this KB:

Hi Alex!
I'm using an account that ist domain admin - Yes.
The account used for the services (application pool for example) is ofcourse not an admin - account.
I do have Internet Connectivity and I do load all updates before installation.
But thank you for the link - maybe this will help me.
I'll go through this and will come back to you!
