That'd be a Windows program would it?
Admittedly, the Linux approach of doing what it is told, including
recursive deletion from the root directory has its criticisms...
Just a thought, but if you descend to the command line you may find that
either running the extraction program from a batch file, or running it
with a command line switch such as /Y causes it to assume the answer was
yes.
Alternatively, navigate the Registry to the correct one of the 5
branches, find the settings for this application, and guess wildly until
you get something like
hk_do_what_I_Said string "yes please"
that persuades it.
Or...
Shouldn't be a big problem, just look in teh relevant portion of the
source code for the startup and go, and either understand and use it, or
comment out that check.
