 Pascal, thank you for pinning down the problem. I do remember reading this 
 message box. My (incorrect) understanding was that this choice is only 
 relevant during the installation process. 
  
 Holger, I second the idea of making "Yes" the default option. It may 
 encourage users to select it in case they are unsure what to choose.

Holger, I   second the idea of making "Yes" the default option. It may   encourage   users to select it in case they are unsure what to choose.€€
