Why EPiServer Manager!

The thing with EPiServer Manager it's easy to use. But I encountered some problems. Because it's easy to use makes it harder to customize an EPiServer installation. I mean if I just want to install the database, how do I do that? And if I choose to install EPi without a database and then later want to install a database, I'm screwed?
Why not make it a zipped version and not an offline package that u need EPiServer Manager to install.And the worst part jet is if u have the .net framework 3.0 and 3.5 u can't install EPiServer. In order to solve that just temporary move v3.0 and v3.5 folder from C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\ and retry installation.

Well I can't complain it could be worse.

You can always create an off-line packaged and save it to your disk. Then change the extension from pkg to zip and look inside.

If you look around you will find SQL-scripts that can be used to install or update the database manually.
