Thanks, Ronni, that did the trick and after installation Software
Update duly recognised what was needed and did the necessary. A
pleasant and useful interlude in a warm, drowsy Sunday afternoon.
Enjoy the rest of the day

Hi Severin,
You might need to uninstall FCE and reinstall it for it to update to
the current version of 4.0.1
Apple has published two documents that are relevant - the first is
Troubleshooting and the second document is Final Cut Express HD -
How to Uninstall.
Read both. Then completely uninstall the app.
It's important that you remove the /Library/Application Support/
ProApps/Final Cut Express System ID file - it contains your serial
number.
Then restart your Mac.
Then reinstall FCE in an administrator account.
Run FCE at least once before you do anything else, including
updating it to v4.0.1

My version of FC Express is unambiguously 4.0 from everything I can
see and noway can I make it update or so it seems. Yes VT has some
real failings and wrong information bits but none the less some
useful attributes.
Have a good day!

I have Final cut Express v 4.0 according to Get Info and I
believe that is correct. Version Tracker Pro, to which I
subscribe agrees with this but notes the update v 4.0.1
Software Update tells me everything is up to date and nowhere on
the Apple site can I find a 4.0 to 4.0.1 download. The apparent
update download link on the FCE page merely tells me how to do a
check through Software Update. I have no recollection of
performing this update in the past and VT Pro seems to have got
this right, though it gets some versions wrong (it insists
Transmit 4.0.4 is 3.7 for example).
Has anyone any comments or experience here. This arises from a
long overdue cleanup/checkup of my Appliations/Utilities folders.
Hi Severin,
My version of Final Cut Express is v4.0.1. Version 4.0.1 was
released around 2 years ago?
I have cancelled my renewal subscription to Version Tracker Pro
this year.
I have found over the years it was inaccurate with versions of my
Applications.
Cheers,
Ronni
