 * I watched the overview Video…i was wondering, do i need to install WP first on
   the server i’m moving to or is it already included in the installer?
    (The video
   appears like WP itself comes with the installer??!)

 * …eh…ok WP is indeed included when the database and files are exported. Sorry 
   my fault;)

 * No Problem… Basically your entire database and all your WP files should be packaged
   up when you create a package. The installer file will then extract the archive.
   zip which has all your WP files and a copy of WP Database, which then allows 
   you to redeploy your site again to a new location…
 * If you run into any issues let me know…
 * Cheers~
