no...the offline installer has everything needed for the install...the online installer actively works with your machine 'live' as it were...if you have any sort of issues during the install (firewall, packet analysis, etc) the install might be corrupted..

I for one always use offline installers when possible (erm..except for windows update..too much of a hassle to identify the updates, search for them, download them, then install them)
