The dialog box does contain the word update. One could assume

The proper method would be to leave the box unchecked by default since it is
not an update but rather an install.
Yet again. If this were MS pulling this stunt, they would certainly be
pilloried. And probably sued by the EU. Where's the outrage here?
I'm outraged that some Windows programs update without informing users!
