yes, and having something like:
are you sure <yes|no>
(user clicks yes)
are you really sure? <yes|no>
(user clicks yes again)
are you really, really sure? <yes|no>
... also makes it several clicks.
The best solution, would be to replace the yes/no buttons with
verbs/actions, like skip/'install anyway'/abort.
I haven't looked at the code, but it is probably using
MessageBox(Ex), which doesn't allow that. Coding an extended messagebox
isn't *that* hard, but, it is still work that takes motivation to do.
The second best, and quickest, would be for a patch to show up
implementing Thorsten's suggestion that cfg pointed out.
Until someone steps up to do the work, this discussion is just going
to fade out and die.
Cheers,
