What I don't understand is why is it necessary to authomate all the installing.

Those troublesome authomatic installations come mainly from programs that are very expensive to be seen in intimacy.

So they have to be totally automatically installed, and if you don't have someone that pays you to study all the possibilities it would always fail somewhere.

But it would be better to do a simple form where people might fill in all the fields. Every field highly documented by some wiki at www. And some default values for people that might not be able to answer every question.

Then you have your desired installation and the rest would install well because the one that does the installation would be responsible of the results.

It would be helpful if there where some wiki: structured to answer questions about PM troubleshooting issues and related subjects.
