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.

+1 - just nuke it.  I can't think of *anything* that makes
sense to ask here, or even at the start (eg, checking if a
version is already installed and then asking the question
seems just as useless)

Removed the useless question.  Thanks for the comment.
