Wrong version number displayed by TeaTimer

When I updated Spybot today it updated from v1.6.0.30 to version 1.6.2
And now in the main program it shows as v1.6.2.46

However when you check the version number from the Teatimer tray icon (using the About option) it still shows the old version number for the main program. The About Popup shows the following details:

Spybot - Search & Destroy
Version v1.6.0.30
System settings protector 1.6.4.26

Obviously Teatimer is reading the version number of the main program from somewhere that was not updated with the new details. It displays its own version number correctly (System settings protector).

A minor glitch I admit, but still confusing.

I have tried restarting both Teatimer and Windows(XP-Pro) with no change - Where is Teatimer reading the version number from?

Doug,

I can confirm that although I am using a newer version of Teatimer.

In the main program mine shows v1.6.2.46
From the Teatimer about it shows

Spybot - Search & Destroy
Version v1.6.0.30
System settings protector 1.6.5.28

The incorrect Spybot version number displayed by TeaTimer appears to be internal to the TeaTimer exe file - and not read from an external source.

The Version info embedded in the TeaTimer file itself shows the "Product Version" has not been updated and is still displays 1,6,0,30

I just updated to v1.6.2.46 and I'm also showing the incorrect version number when viewing the about from TeaTimer's menu. I also have a different System settings protector version showing compared to Greyfox.

My teaTimer shows:
Spybot - Search & Destroy
Version v1.6.0.30
System settings protector 1.6.4.28

(I've highlighted the difference in Red when compared to Greyfox's numbers)

Gamebroo,

I guess I should have said it was a "Test - beta version" rather than refer to it as a "newer" version - sorry for the confusion. The 1.6.5.28 test version is available from http://forums.spybot.info/downloads.php?id=42 if you want to try it. The reason for this version is to test a "paranoid" option added to the Teatimer right click menu.
