 > The screenshot looks like the installation is attempted initially and
 then fails. However, if WordPress now allows overwriting, it's no longer a
 failure, so perhaps the wording should change there.

 That's the idea: we had a failure.
 Maybe we can change "more details" to something sounds like "you can fix
 this way". But I guess a "overwrite this" after a "destination already
 exists" error do the job.

 Can you clarify?

 The "overwrite link" add a parameter to URL. If user add it by hand will
 do the same without the comparison table, but I guess we can ignore that
 because the user came from another page and "reload" doesn't work...
 Rethinking now I was overconcerned hahaha
