I have a Web Server and a separate Database Server.
If I execute the WebPiCMD.exe on the Web Server, specifying to install a simple "YetAnotherForumNET" application while specifying the remote database server to use, it sees that the Web Server is missing SQL and adds it to the list of things to install for dependencies...
This is obviously not what I want to happen; installing SQL Express on the Web Server when I'm clearly specifying a remote database server to use.
Is there a way to exclude a dependency from installing?
