I think you are missing the point that in MikTeX it is a KNOWN bug
that the ASK option is broken and it fails to make the menu pop up and
ask the user about the packages.
Thus, the only way (according to the MikTeX folks) is to use YES or NO
on the packages.
I tested this on my 3 test machines again and could not reproduce the problem. If it is really a
MiKTeX bug, it should be reported as such:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=10783&atid=110783
The MiKTeX developer usually fixes such problems quickly.
