That’s actually a great illustration of the point I tried to make.

You just asked setup.exe to install a whole bunch of software you do not actually need, so when it starts asking you questions about what you want done with this software, you are lost, because you don’t even know what the software *is*, much less how to use it.

So don’t do that. :)
