The dialog option you talk about says: [ ] REPLACE_BASE EOL, no longer supported I'm quite sure the end-user you're talking about can get a clue from it, and if he either already had selected it before, or he just selected it, he will get: ===> bind99-9.9.6P1_3 REPLACE_BASE is no longer supported. The end-user can then get another clue and maybe unselect it.
