>Solved! It appears that a previously uninstallation on the 'new box' failed (maybe not all admin rigths, ..?) so the HKLM\Software\Bacula keys did not get completly deleted so when I ran the installer it was thinking it needed to make an update/reinstall? not a full-fresh install thus I wasn't able to select/deselect any option in the custom install mode and the installer wasn't showing me the director configuration page.
I'm confused to have missed this (newbie)one :-( (By the way, what about adding an option in the installer to switch to another DBMS when running it again on an already installed system?) I am so sorry to have made you waste time to solve this point. Thank you very much for the quick and accurate answer.
