Ok I may be being really stupid as this should be a simple thing to do.
On my development box I have created a fresh installation of Umbraco 7.0.4 (using VS2013 and nuGet package). I have completed some dev and now want to deploy this to a staging environment. In order to do this I will have to install Umbraco as if it was a new installation.
This obviously conflicts with the config in my development solution.
Im sure in version 6 you could force a resintalltion by changing the config setting:
However this doesnt seem to work with version 7?? Even if I point the connectionString in the web.config at an empty database. I get the installation screen, click next to "Get Started" but at the License screen I can't get any further.
Reset existing Installation

<add key="umbracoConfigurationStatus" value="7.0.4" />
to
<add key="umbracoConfigurationStatus" value="" />
and hit the url.

What am I missing? And why isn't this simpler!?
