huh?

If we *don't* display an error, nobody on windows or osx is going
to check the log.  That's precisely why we show an error, so that
GUI programs will (hopefully) direct the user's attention to that
log.

What's the big deal?  If this bothers you, just make sure you
write the correct version numbers.  If you only use 2.14.0 syntax,
then write 2.14.0 instead of 2.15.26.
