The lack of a warranty is information that should be conveyed to users, but
there's no reason to force them to agree to it, because there's no warranty
(insofar as local law allows) whether they agree or not.
If you're really concerned about this issue, you should probably focus on
making sure that other Wireshark installation tools also display information
about the lack of a warranty, because AFAIK, the Windows installer is the
only one that does.
