Comment (by pospeselr):

 Two small patches to fix this, one in the update_response config, adding
 "minSupportedOSVersion: 6.1" string for win32 and win64 builds.  The other
 is to the nsis build script which adds the following pop-up to the
 installer when it's detected to be running on a version of windows older
 than Windows 7 (verified in Vista and 7 VMs).

 One other thing I noticed while looking at the nsis script is that we're
 providing the option to add Desktop and Start Menu shortcuts.  Since we
 don't provide an uninstaller to clean up the Start Menu, should that be
 removed, or at least put the Start Menu shortcut generation into a second
 not auto-selected option?  I would think most users probably wouldn't
 remember to delete the Start Menu shortcut if they delete Tor Browser.
