Ted: What this discussion shows is the importance of the database. We all know the money is in the database. The time. The effort. The labor costs to keep it updated.

The most cost effective method is to have vendors send update information to you. In effect, the labor pool becomes thousands. If one could pull this arrangement off is the big question.

TED, perhaps there is an easier solution... kind of like what the Uninstall programs do: they figure out which files belong to which programs and thus you really don't need to say files A, B, and C are not compliant, but rather MSWorks version X is not compliant, and that you need to upgrade to version Y. What files actually get updated is immaterial.

I really doubt the Media Viewer file really has any date logic. It was probably flagged because it wasn't part of the "known to be compliant" file list. Considering the number of discrete files each commercial application now contains, and considering how often software gets updated with the advent of the internet, such a comparison approach would be pointless.
