Hi @Andy_Leopold, for this step, simply go to the Add/Remove programs on your portal server and remove the Cireson Setup application before proceeding with running the new installer.

so we require our users to sign in every time, so i do not want that checked.
Here's an excerpt from the from the Cireson Install Doc:
"Service Manager Management Server Name - If you are using Integrated Windows Authentication, the management server name must be localhost. If you are using Forms Authentication and the management server is installed on the computer where you are installing the Cireson Portal web site, then enter 'localhost'. If you are using Forms Authentication and the management server you want to connect to is not on the same server as where you are installing the Cireson Portal web site, enter the fully qualified domain name of the Service Manager management server that you want to connect to remotely. Note: connecting to a remote SCSM management server is not recommended."
The doc can be found at this link: https://docs.cireson.com/articles/#!service-manager-portal-setup-guide-publication/running-the-installation
In addition, here's a little blurb on the Forms Authentication:
