What I've encountered is that lots of people answering that way do not
actually mean what these words say, but use them as a way to avoid saying
the truth: "I'm not able to install such software, I can not understand
how this works at all, it seems way too complicated to me, 
and I do not want you to know that I do not even understand the slightest 
bit at all of what you're talking about" :-)
