Yes, I saw that, which is why I thought I must be looking at something 
different to what the OP had installed.

My confusion is that he has definitely installed 1.5.2 and this version 
is being polled for its version number (by something!) and returning the 
correct '1.0050021', whilst the something expects '1.52'. Anyway, this 
can only be resolved if Stephan provides the real error message and its 
context.
