OLLI_S Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Hello,I saw in CCleaner Cloud at "Installed Software" that: some applications/games don't have a version number some applications/games have an invalid version number I know that CCleaner Cloud reads this data from the list of installed applications in Windows (I have Windows 10 Pro).If I open this list in the control panel then I see the same problems.If you implement the suggestion "Update Manager" (CCleaner Cloud scans my computer for installed applications and then informs me when there are new versons available) then the correct detection of my installed applications is essential!The suggestion "Update Manager" can be found here: http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=43816Here is a list of incorrect version numbers.The "Version displayed" is the version number, hat is shown in CCleaner Cloud.The "File Version" and the "Product Version" version are taken from the EXE file. Applications: Application Name : Canon MP Navigator EX 4.0Version displayed: [empty]File Path of EXE : C:\Program Files (x86)\Canon\MP Navigator EX 4.0\mpnex40.exeFile Version : 4.0.3.0Product Version : 4. 0. 3. 0Application Name : Canon Solution Menu EXVersion displayed: [empty]File Path of EXE : C:\Program Files (x86)\Canon\Solution Menu EX\CNSEMAIN.EXEFile Version : [empty]Product Version : 1.4.1.0Application Name : Epic Games LauncherVersion displayed: 1.1.69.0File Path of EXE : E:\Epic Games\Launcher\Portal\Binaries\Win64\EpicGamesLauncher.exeFile Version : 2.11.10.0Product Version : 2.11.20-2975183+++Portal+Release... Note : The "Product Version" can not be read completely (window too small)Application Name : GOG GalaxyVersion displayed: [empty]File Path of EXE : C:\Program Files (x86)\GalaxyClient\GalaxyClient.exeFile Version : 1.1.10.47Product Version : 1.1.10.47Application Name : OculusVersion displayed: <3File Path of EXE : C:\Program Files (x86)\Oculus\Support\oculus-client\OculusClient.exeFile Version : 0.36.5.0Product Version : 0.1.0Note : In the application the displayed version is 1.3.2.208104 (1.3.2.210591)Application Name : SteamVersion displayed: 2.10.91.91File Path of EXE : C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steam.exeFile Version : 3.42.16.13Product Version : 01.00.00.01 Application Name : TeamSpeakVersion displayed: 3.0.16File Path of EXE : C:\Program Files (x86)\TeamSpeak 3 Client\ts3client_win32.exeFile Version : 3.0.19.0Product Version : 3.0.19.0 Note : In the application the displayed version is 3.0.19.3 Application Name : UplayVersion displayed: 2.0File Path of EXE : C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\Ubisoft Game Launcher\Uplay.exeFile Version : 19.0.0.4810Product Version : uplaypc-buildsystem.4810 In this posting I sent the data of all applications with invalid version numbers. But I did not check all of my installed applications (just the applications, that don't have a version number and applications, where I know that the version number is invalid). I will send drivers and also games (they are shown in CCleaner Cloud) with invalid version numbers after my vacation. You see that detecting the correct version number is not always easy, because some applications don't write a version number in the list of installed applications some applications write a version number when they are installed, but when they are updated they don't update the version number So either you encourage the developers worldwide to write proper version information (nearly impossible). Or you have do determine the version yourself (sometimes the "File Version" helps and sometimes the "Product Version" helps). In alternative way would be to work with hashes (MD5 or SHA) for each file, so you know the version of an application by storing the hash together with valid version information.

OLLI_S Posted June 26, 2016 Author Share Posted June 26, 2016 Hello, I saw that also TeamSpeak has an invalid version number shown in Windows. So I updated the list in my first posting. Greetings OLLI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
