As long as it works the version is not immediately critical.

If you were running the BETA of Wildcat! 7, I am wondering whether it may
have failed before it installed the VC++ 2010 redist, which SSI have as a
download on the BBS.

The electronic version of the AUP is fine, but if you are doing installs
from CD (rather than file & reg copy) it is best to have a new CD with the
latest build.
