hehehe - same thing here.
Alternatively you can sit there and keep a finger on the return button to overwrite everything...
Hours of fun ;-)

We've just been running the 5.0.1 update here (in a very ugly way). Couldn't
find a way to tell the installer to overwrite the existing files so we used
the following batch called from psexec (which itself ran it for a text list
of machine name per line).
del /S /F /Q c:\softimage\XSI_5.0
P:\XSI\install\XSI_5.0\Setup\setup.exe -cmdline
-profile:P:\XSI\install\PROFILES\5.0_win32.ini -installpath:c:\softimage
-noreboot
Just in case it's of interest to anyone.
Cheers,
Alan.
