I'm curious if there is a way to force the setup.exe to disable
automatic dependecies and automatic package upgrade/selection.  It
makes it quite inconvient when trying to uninstall many packages from
the system (whole categories), but when clicking on a few stray ones
(to set to skip/uninstall) it automatically checks a ton more.  In
some cases, I am completely unable to install certain packages due to
cyclic dependencies.  Is there a workaround or other solution
available?
