This patch marks the spin button red of such packages which installed version numbers are higher than the current version of setup.exe, when setup wants to overwrite "newer" versions.
Usually I have to click the spin buttons on those a couple of numbers.
It's a useful visual feedback of todo's.

I like the idea, but didn't we have a long discussion about /not/ using color *alone* as an indicator, to care for those with color blindness? How about changing the spinner to an exclamation point, instead:
