I may be missing the details because I do not do Windows myself, but if you are discussing the "end user binary distribution" one, then I think: * It is a mistake if you do not to show GPL, as you are redistributing GPL code in a binary form and you need to tell the end user his rights (e.g. he can request source for it, the source is found at a well known location, etc.) * The restriction on redistribution of modified program would probably not apply (unless the receiver hacks binary) to most casual users, so making the label say "I Accept" feels a bit silly (but still is technically correct). As Nico suggested, "Continue" may be fine here, as long as the message already says "this program is distributed under this license you are looking at". I recall you had another installer that gives the full development environment for hack on "git" with a clone of the git repository. I do not know if you still offer that installer, but "I Accept" would be very appropriate for that one.
