How to update to the latest version of Thunderbird on Windows XP and Vista.

<!-- Mostly copied from https://support.mozilla.org/kb/get-latest-version-firefox-windows-xp-vista --> Although Thunderbird will run on Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) or above, the latest installers for Thunderbird require Windows XP with Service Pack 3 (SP3) or Windows Vista with update [https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2763674 KB2763674]. To work around this issue, a two-step process is necessary to install the latest version of Thunderbird. Windows XP and Vista users should follow these steps: # [[Installing Thunderbird on Windows|Download and install Thunderbird]] up to version 38.5.0 ([https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/thunderbird/releases/38.5.0/ link to download]). <!-- The Thunderbird download page currently serves 38.5.1 for Windows XP --> #After installing this version you can use the Thunderbird updater to install the latest version of Thunderbird. See the article [[Updating Thunderbird]] for details. We're sorry for the inconvenience.
