IMO, Your best bet is for you stop using SW inv and use the IE mof edit that

Subject: [mssms] Question regarding software inventory for Internet Explorer

Hi All,

We've been asked to gather the number of machines running versions of Internet 
Explorer greater than 11.0.9600.17041, when I check v_GS_SoftwareFile for 
machines that I know for a fact have been patched and updated to a newer 
version (manually checked the .exe file properties) they are still showing an 
old version even though they have recently ran software inventory. If I look at 
versions outside of the Program Files directory, I do see newer .exe versions 
being reported in the winsxs directory.

Is there something special happening when files get patched that causes the 
build/subbuild numbers not to be reported correctly? Do we need to change the 
way we do our reporting to get accurate info down to that level of detail?
