Installing Silverlight plugin on offline PC - is it possible?

Question

Let's presume you need to show your shiny new touchscreen-optimised Silverlight application to your boss during trans-atlantic flight. How can you do that on his notebook if the only thing you have is CD containing your application and (maybe) your trusty 4" pocket notebook without mouse controls (:)) but with silverlight plugin installed.

So, Is it possible to install Silverlight plugin without internet connection available?

When you run default silverlight plugin installer it downloads real installer from internet and runs it. Is it possible to collect this "real installer" from (e.g.) Temporary Internet Files folder and run it directly or avoid download step in some other way? Maybe there is an alternative silverlight plugin installer for those hoping to test their application against older versions? (ilder versions of Flash player are available in this fashion).
