If TPTP 4.5.0 specifies that it requires new versions of other features 
(inlcuding core platform stuff), then the update will try to update them 
in order to satisfy those requirements. I'm pretty sure that it would 
have shown you the list of things it was going to install after it has 
resolved the necessary dependencies, you would have clicked OK in 
response to a list of features and versions that were to be installed.
