Do you get any more information in that dialog?

I'm not able to take a screenshot of the dialog now but this is pretty much the dialog.

Doesn't your company have rules on what can be installed and not?

Not necessarily, just as long it is not against their policies. Because of this, I am free to install anything I'd like if it improves my workflow. I'd share a screen recording but they have rules in place to prevent uploading data.

This is something you need to ask your IT team about. I can't guess at what policies they have in place.

I'll close this issue because I was able to install SearchDeflector instead.
