If I understand correctly, you downloaded a single Release.gpg file and put it inside a CD's content tree; that won't work at all, ever. Delete it and keep just what was on the CD.
(Sidebar: No authentication keys are generated for CDs since a self-checking CD would be security theater; apt-get on the CD can be hacked to display a false "OK" message even if authentication failed. CDs can/should instead be verified by external tools to match an externally published signed checksum.) 

Try booting the installer with:

  install debian-installer/allow_unauthenticated=true
which should skip the entire GPG check. More info: http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch05s03.html.en

*right*, this is most likely the cause of some of your problems.

Because Windows doesn't support symlinks. The installer recognises
this and copes.

I'm guessing the installer has got confused here. It's looking for
things in c:/debian rather than under c:/temp/debian which you
mentioned earlier...?

And more of the same.


I test the case in downloading the file from the web :

I think there is a parameter in the parmfile to ignore the signature
verification but it becomes very tedious...


If you're doing ftp to a Windows server (*shudder*), then you've quite
possibly just corrupted all the line endings. You'll need to make sure
you download in BINARY format to stop this happening.
