Yes. I think v2 was not distributed in MSI packages.

Since I'm always an early adopter of the latest version, I can't really
tell you which features are improved in 3.85, the Ritlabs web page has a
version history.

Well, I recently updated to FF2.0 - and realised then that I should have
removed the old 1.5 installation before. I did that afterwards, and now
half of the FF2.0 installation is a mess (I think I have to install 2.0
over the existing installation again to fix it). :-)

You need to do that Windows Genuine whatever check for some of the
downloads. The check is done either with an ActiveX control in IE, or
with a stand-alone program when you're using other browsers. Always
worked for me.

But IIRC the msicuu is available without the check.
