Some Application Updates Fail to Recognize Windows 7
I have Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 x64. I can verify that I at least have
some variety of Windows 7 by various installed applications. These include: * Belarc Advisor from http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html. * ProduKey from http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/product_cd_key_viewer.html * Windows Update (showing an update that I have not yet installed) * Computer (both the Properties when I right-click on the icon and the display when I select [Help About Windows] in the open window) However, I cannot install updates to two applications whose Web pages indicate they are compatible with Windows 7. Both throw up error popups claiming my Windows version is not compatible. These a * Thunderbird 60.0 (update from 52.9.1) * Skype 8.27.0.85 (update from 7.36.0.150) Note: I attempted to install these from complete downloaded installer files. I disabled my Internet connection and my anti-virus application AFTER downloading and scanning the files. What is going on here? Is there something I can do to make these recognize Windows 7 on my PC? Or is the problem with the installer files? -- David E.
