Yes, it's SP2 showing up in Start->Computer->Properities window. Also in System32 directory, there is ucrtbase.dll and a bunch of api-ms-win-crt-*.dll too.

In TEMP, there is only one file "chrome_installer.log" dated at the time of doing the upgrade (strange?, why chrome?). No errors in it.

I can't. My Vista is 32bit. Anyway I will give v3.6.8 a try later.
