  The finite temperature phase transition in the SU(2)-Higgs model at a Higgs
boson mass $M_H \simeq 35$ GeV is studied in numerical simulations on four
dimensional lattices with time-like extensions up to $L_t=5$. $T_c/M_H$ is
extrapolated to the continuum limit and a comparison with the perturbative
prediction is made. A one-loop calculation to the coupling anisotropies of the
SU(2)-Higgs model on lattices with asymmetric lattice spacings is presented.
Our numerical simulations show that the above perturbative result is applicable
in the phenomenologically interesting parameter region.
