Maybe there is a different approach needed for different browser users.

If someone is still using IE6 (or other IE versions which are not 
supported anymore) and is allowed to install something else it is 
probably someone who has no idea how to get a different browser or a 
newer version. It also almost certainly a Windows user.
In this case I would personally prefer to provide a link to the browser 
select site which Microsoft was more or less forced to create [1]. It 
has one-click-install packages for popular and less popular browsers for 
Windows users.

For other browsers (non-IE) it is very likely that either the user has 
installed a different browser in the past or the user is on non-Windows 
system. These user are often more knowledgeable when it comes to 
installing software. Maybe a link to the website of the browser they 
currently use is enough to help them on their way to update the browser.
