If you can fill a form and click "next" to generate a PUT from your command line stuff, then the standard installer will work fine. I'm not quite sure when auto-installer stopped working, we haven't supported it and bit-rot set in.
Either Peter or I will probably do the question/install re-ordering not long after HEAD (i.e. the future 4.7) gets fixed, which we expect in about three weeks (Jeff Davis, who will take the lead on merging 4.6 changes with HEAD, is on vacation for about 10 days and will start on this upon his return)
