[NSIS-devel] Fwd: [tex-live] Unable to use install-tl-windows.exe: "Windows XP earliest supported version; aborting..."

[Jon H. <squ...@gm...>]

I had the following exchange with the texlive people who use nsis and
downloaded the latest nsis subversion trunk. The Windows 7 Enterprise
w/ SP 1 version appears to be missing from Include/WinVer.nsh:

 Mine: "Microsoft Windows NT 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1"

Can you please make sure Windows 7 with Service Pack 1 (version
6.1.7601) is supported with nsis so that ${AtMostWin2000} evaluates
that I'm using at least Windows XP? (line 72 of
http://www.tug.org/svn/texlive/trunk/Master/tlpkg/libexec/install-tl.nsi?revision=33535&view=markup
begins the block that I'm tripping up on).

Additional reference for Windows 7 version:

Thanks!
Jon

I cannot reproduce this with a freshly-downloaded
install-tl-windows.exe on Windows 10 64-bit, and have no idea what
may have caused this.
