I have found that the setup.exe works very well and is fairly slick.

That said, when I want to install just one or two packages, I find it
somewhat tedious to run down the list and click on the circular arrows so
that most of the package components are set to "Keep" or "Skip".

I would find it useful if there were a simpler way to install just one
component, maybe by having a button which is called "manual".  The manual
button would then require to select the components which are wanted instead
of un-selecting those which are not wanted.

Just my $.02 (and also thinking about bandwidth considerations)
