# Installing manual vs script

 * Soooo….I used to always install all my WordPress installs using whatever the 
   one click scripts were available on my host. I recently switched hosts and through
   moving a Moodle installation I learned that one click installs are not a good
   idea (through some experiences I had migrating my Moodle install…problems which
   came from the one click script.) I now am trying to avoid the scripts, but I 
   had already installed all my website’s WordPress installs using the new host’s
   one click installer.
 * My question is: Is it worth uninstalling each site’s WP install and reinstalling
   manually, to get it away from those scripts and the issues they present? I feel
   like it is…and it’s bugging me now that they are all installed using those scripts…
   but I am wondering if I’m just going to make more work for myself…
 * There’s like 4 or 5 sites, so, not a huge number. And I’m in no hurry, so I suppose
   I could just do it here and there as I had time…
 * I just wonder if it’s worth me going to the trouble?

 * I don’t think so. What issues are you having?

 * I’m not having any issues. But I have read that there are security issues with
   the installations that use the scripts.
