Great, thanks! I think the question was asked before, but from the docs it doesn't seem obvious that the wizard creates the three system databases as well, it kind of reads as if you'd have to do this manually after it ran. So if that's the case I'd go and add those informations to the docs, guess this could be handy for others as well!
