Need Help for Vortex installer error: Windows 7 and above is required

[Adaeron]

So I decided to come back to Nexus for my mod manager after fighting with another version. I downloaded the Vortex mod manager installer from Nexux Mods own page and after a AV scan, ran the .exe for the MSI. I get the usual Windows 'do you want to do this' message and accept. The first thing I get is a fatal error message pop-up that says Vortex Setup: Windows 7 and above is required.

I have tried to run this as an Admin in a user account, logged in on an admin account, and even as an admin rights operation while logged in on the master admin account. Each time I get the same message and the installer quits.

HP EliteDesk 800 G1 SFF

Intel Core i5-4590 @ 3.30GHZ

12GB ram

Windows 7 Professional 64-bit OS

OS Current build 7601

DEP on for essential programs

There is no appdata that I can find so I think the MSI is not seeing the OS version it is looking on the initial fetch and stopping the script.

Typically I don't have issues fixing grumpy MSI's but this one has me stumped. Any help is appreciated.

Vortex is hosted on Github.

There are instructions at this link for doing a manual build.

If the Windows Installer is refusing to work for you, this may be worth a try.

Also, I asked this in the other thread you started about this

Out of curiosity Right click the installer pick PROPERTIES---------->COMPATIBILITY and make sure Compatibility mode isn't checked and nothing is set to Vista or XP etc.

Also do you mean it's an actual "Vortex.msi" or "Vortex.exe?
