[Approval Request Comment]
Regression caused by (bug #): N/A
User impact if declined: Installer will allow installing on old unsupported windows versions
Testing completed (on c-c, etc.): Anyone have a win7 or win8 machine to test on?
Risk to taking this patch (and alternatives if risky):
Low risk, NSIS is pretty solid and Firefox made the same change.
