Odd “This program requires Windows Service Pack 1 or later.” error – upgrading from 5.17.10 to 5.19.

Odd “This program requires Windows Service Pack 1 or later.” error – upgrading from 5.17.10 to 5.19.

While trying to install the current 5.19 setup file from my current 5.17.10 (Build 11087), I get the error in the title, with the only option to close the warning modal. Service Pack 1 is very much installed on this machine, and no previous WinSCP setup file has triggered a complaint.

Re: Odd “This program requires Windows Service Pack 1 or later.” error – upgrading from 5.17.10 to 5.19.

What exact version of Windows are you using?

WinSCP 5.19 installer indeed newly requires Windows 7 SP1/2008 R2 SP1.

Windows 7 Ultimate – Version 6.1 (Build 7601)

According to the “Programs and Features” applet, SP1 was installed at the tail end of 2012

So it doesn’t make sense that the installer is complaining about a service pack that is in fact installed.

Description: SP-1 is installed

So how do I get around this incorrect assessment by the installer?

But my Windows 7 SP1 system says “Service Pack 1” on that screen:

Very odd. Even as a long-time IT guy (since 1983), I have no explanation for why mine doesn’t include that on this page.

I intend to upgrade to Win 10 sometime in the semi-near future, so it’s not exactly critical that I get WinSCP updated immediately. Still, I am now extremely curious to learn why my install shows my installation of SP-1 back in 2012 (KB976932) in the WU screen (but not on that page), while your installer is unable to confirm SP-1 on the system. Does your WU screen show the date & WU number of your upgrade to SP-1? If they are the same KB number, then I’m stumped, but also stuck at an outdated version of WinSCP.

I have it listed as:
Windows 7 Service Pack 1 for x64-based Systems (KB976932)
Though note that my Windows 7 system was installed in 2014, so after the SP1 was released.

Note that only the installer requires Windows 7 SP1. WinSCP itself supports any Windows 7. You can download Portable executables package instead:
