might contain all or part of the "why is that" you are looking for, in regards
to iexplore.exe at least.

suggestion, I’ve added this now and am starting to see valid data. Is there
anything out there that explains why this is a problem? From:

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?
