And that's a problem. You can't install it later even if you need it.
Your installation will be "broken" forevermore (without repair by
third-party tools such as winetricks, at least).

Clicking "Cancel" is a bad idea all around unless you're *really* sure
what you're doing (and won't ever need help doing it). For most
practical purposes, this thing really isn't optional.

I'm working on Gecko packaging, but probably won't have time to finish
it before the Christmas holidays.
