The CRT update also requires service pack 1 on Windows 7 and service
pack 2 on Vista. 3.5.1's installer was updated to check for a
supported operating system. On an XP system the error message should
be "Windows Vista SP2 or later is required to continue installation".

It was rewritten completely.
