Hi Pat,

This sounds like Virtual Store...

Click Start, type "hidden" and show hidden files then go to
C:\
Users\
Pat\
AppData\
Local\
VirtualStore\

Look for the install path of your app, like:
Program Files(x86)\
CatBase\

There you may find folders like Database, which contains 93, because it was in 
Program Files and modified, if only by saving Data File path into itself.  
Delete this and the process will repeat making a new copy of 100 in this locale.

One simple way to solve for deployment is change the install path to either 
not-Program-Files or make directory unique (e.g. CatBase100\).

    Well folks I have been banging my head against the wall for a whole day and
    have not been able to solve this very strange problem ...
    I have a need to compile an update to an old version of CatBase. This is
    Version 7.3 (we are currently on Version 8). The previous compile was rev.
    93; this one is rev. 100.
    
    So I compile  and build a single-user app.
    Run it and check to make sure it is the correct version (r100). It is.
    Build an installer using InnoSetup.
    Check that the installer is the correct one (ie - current date and time).
    Run the installer.
    Check the installed version: the files (including the .exe) have the
    current date and time.
    Run the app.
    IT RUNS THE WRONG VERSION (rev 93 instead of rev 100)!
    
    I have:
    Scoured the machine and deleted ALL previous versions of the app.
    Found and deleted out-of-date shortcuts.
    Deleted an old version of the installer from the Downloads folder.
    Emptied the Recycle bin.
    Restarted the machine.
    Checked the installer script to make sure it is pointing to the correct
    folder. Checked this by removing the compiled app folder; running the
    installer script generates an error. Put the folder back and the installer
    script runs OK. This confirms that the script is pointing to the correct
    folder.
    Delete the installer and empty the Recycle Bin
    Rebuild the installer.
    Same problem every time!
    
    No matter what I do, the newly installed .exe runs the old version, which
    doesn't even exist anywhere!
    
    Any suggestions?
    
    Thanks!
    Pat
