Description
If the installer download fails, the user should still be allowed to create the full manifest if they want to as long as they provide the information they need to do so.
This could be applicable to situations where the download link/website isn't live yet.

Done means users can provide the necessary information and create a full manifest even when the download link or website is unavailable; no specific files or tests are named in the issue.
