Engineers Toolset Web "Advanced Install" option

Where is this documented in the documentation? Does this create a new database on a SQL server or is it using the NPM database? Is everyone supposed to be using the "Basic - Install Toolset as fast as possible" option? I go through a Change Approval Board and get approval to install and suddenly I'm facing an option not listed in the documentation with a limited change window. This is supposed to be Enterprise Level software right?

This was reported by another customer as well and we corrected that in the earliest time when we were able. Unfortunately not early enough for everybody. Sorry for the inconvenience.

The documentation was updated a few weeks ago to reflect this information. This could be seen in page 12 of the quickstart guide and on page 37 of the admin guide.

From the guide:

If you are installing Engineer's Toolset on the Web on a server where you already have SolarWinds NPM installed, select the appropriate Orion installation type and click Next.
If you want to use an already available Orion SQL database, select Advanced and select the appropriate Orion SQL database.
If you are evaluating Engineer's Toolset on the Web or want to use a new MS SQL Express database, select Express.

That sure would have been useful in the original release. I downloaded the package the last week in June and it wasn't in there.

Please understand that some of us have to go through a Change Approval process, then we get a finite amount of time to make a change, and when something goes wrong it makes us look bad. I'm much less inclined to trust SW products if I feel like I'm going to be left hanging because SW didn't bother to adequately document the product in the original release.
