Because Dependency Walker informs me that The Vanishing of Ethan Carter depends on some IE dlls.<br /><br /> When I download and run an IE11 installer, I get an error message that my "Operating Sytem is not supported" and that I "need Windows 7 SP1".<br /><br /> I go to System Properties, and sure enough, my Windows Installation doers not register that SP1 is installed (see System Properties screen grab).<br /><br /> I'm sure that I installed SP1 when I installed the operating system, so I go to Installed Updates and there it is (see Installed Updates screenie).<br /><br /> So how can I persuade Windows that SP1 is installed or install IE11 in the face of Windows disbelief? I don't particularly fancy uninstalling SP1, though I suppose I'll do it if it's the only way...
