Probably not - Pointsec will be sitting in the MBR already so if you
answer yes, you'll overwrite Pointsec meaning you'll need to be able
to re-install it if you want to boot into your encrypted windows
partition.

Are you, by any chance, installing on a company laptop and trying to
slide in a dual-boot install beside an existing Windows installation?
If you are, I'd be exceptionally careful if I were you...
