It's the equivalent to saying "do you want me to open this letter" -- ideally you want to say "do you want to open the letter from grandma" but you don't know who it's from until you've opened it.

You are not going to install that file, you are going to install the program it contains. The dialog should show the program name and description and yes and no buttons.

When a dialog asks a question it should almost always give you "Yes" and "No" as options (with "Cancel" if aborting all action that would have happened is an option). Even better would be to use verbs (like "Install" "Skip" or something to that effect) and instead of asking a question, telling the user what installing the file means.
