I just submitted <http://www.python.org/sf/984290>, which contains this text:
Before a bdist_wininst created installer overwrites files it asks the user whether files should be overwritten or not. This question is annoying and doesn't seem very useful - it is too late to cancel the installation (because some files might already have been installed).
I suggest to remove this question (MessageBox), and always overwrite files during the installation.
Any comments?
Thomas
