You can do a manual install if you have IIS running on your machine. It would make sense that Umbraco would shut down if you run it from WebMatrix because Webmatrix controls your IIS and your SQL into one platform. But if you have MS SQL Express or CE installed on your machine and you have a local IIS you can do a manual install.
Problem: If I close WebMatrix, it kills the Umbraco web app as well.
When I install Umbraco 4.7 through Microsoft WebPI it installs WebMatrix as a required dependency.
Is there a way not to use WebMatrix?

I want Umbraco to run on my machine 24/7 as a development environment.
I'm accustomed to configuring a web app on IIS and running it from there.
Is it possible to do that through WebPI or do I have to do the manual install of Umbraco?
Thanks!

So WebPI only installs Umbraco with WebMatrix?
I cannot do a WebPI Umbraco install without WebMatrix?
How do I switch the controls over from WebMatrix to IIS once I've done a WebPI install?
Thanks!
You have the option to choose during installation to use either with WebMatrix or IIS.
Yes, I am was testing it on Windows 7 so I only had the IIS Express option with WebMatrix : (
