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.

Please advise.

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 If they are the same KB number, then I'm stumped, but also stuck at an outdated version of WinSCP.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.
