I'm kinda hopeing Jscones would agree with my decision to warn you
and then proceed.
It can be done, but at the end of the day, you can only lead a horse to water...

With the earlier installers (pre GWX 2.0) I handled the issue of SH3Cmdr through heuristics (similar to virus scanners). It ended up being pretty accurate at determining whether SH3Cmdr modifications had been made to the selected SH3 installation, but (similar to virus scanners) was still not foolproof.

Personnally, I have no problem with a "tough love" approach. The SH3Cmdr User Guide warns about rolling back first, hundreds of posts here warn about rolling back first. the installer warns about rolling back first...
