Description

### Failed Installations

### Environment

Windows 7 32 bit

### Expected Behaviour

Failed with unsupported OS

### Actual Behaviour

Installer failed with
```
This installer requires the Visual 2017 C++ Redistributable (x86)
```
from https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-sql-odbc/blob/6.8/installer/src/Installer/Program.cs#L154

It should have failed in https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch-sql-odbc/blob/6.8/installer/src/Installer/Program.cs#L149 
but somehow windows 7 still passed?

### Steps to reproduce the behaviour

Install ODBC driver 6.8.0 on a Windows 7

Research direction

Start in installer/src/Installer/Program.cs at lines 149 and 154, then reproduce the 6.8.0 ODBC driver installation on 32-bit Windows 7. Trace why the Windows 7 check passes before the Visual 2017 C++ Redistributable prerequisite check. Done means unsupported Windows 7 installations fail at the OS check with the intended message.
