Go 1.12 installer on Windows 7 (x64) problem.

Requires: Windows 7 with Service Pack 1.

But Service Pack is installed and restart done twice (just to make sure).

Screenshot attached.

How can I get around installer? Can I force it skip the check?

I have seen posts, unrelated to Go, about installers not recognizing Windows 7 SP1 as being installed. You did a screenshot of the update history, but you should also check that it is listed under Computer->Properties->Windows edition. See here.

While it is possible that this is a problem specific to the Go installer, most likely it is not. So I suggest googling for other people with similar issues installing other software.

Good Luck.

Yes, it was Windows 7 SP1 installation issue. Somehow only part of SP1 got applied during install. Once fixed Go installed without any issues.

Thanks a lot.
