Either get  
 beamer.tar.lzma and 
 miktex-zzdb1-2.7.tar.lzma and 
 miktex-zzdb2-2.7.tar.lzma 
from CTAN (be fast, 2.7. will be removed on 1. January).

Put all three files in an empty folder and use this folder as "local
repository".

Or install the files in beamer.zip manually (without the package
manager). I haven't looked in beamer.zip but normally installing
means "move all files in the correct folder of a local texmf tree
and then update the FNDB" - which can be quite tedious and
errorprone as beamer consist of a lot of files. Sometimes you must
also unpack some dtx-files first. See also
