#2103 "About Keepass" displays the wrong version number

[ANTHONY]

When I display "About Keepass" the version says 2.47. However, I installed version 2.49 yesterday. When I do file properties, it says 2.49. After installing a new version I always check the version with the "About" menu. When I did that yesterday, it said 2.49.

Are you sure you weren't running an old version from somewhere?
Does is still show 2.47 after a reboot?

cheers, Paul

OK. You are right. Thank you for that quick catch. I had two versions in the same main directory - 2.47 is in a sub-directory of the main directory. What was happening is my startup listing had the 2.47 version, so when I started my computer that one started.
But here is the odd thing. I want to delete the whole directory that has the 2.47 version, but my computer won't let me. It tells me I have it open. I checked taskmanager (both the applications and the processes); it is not running, but it won't let me delete it. Since the 2.47 version started with my computer, could it be that it set some weird flag so my computer THINKS it's still running?
I am going to reboot and see if that does it. I took it out of my startup listing, so it shouldn't start with my computer.

What is the location of the 2.47 directory? Maybe it's system owned?

KeePass starts with the computer via a registry key.
HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\KeePass Password Safe 2

It may also have a preload key.
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\KeePass 2 PreLoad

You can change them manually, but it's better to uninstall KeePass and let it clean up, after a backup of course.

Try running a search over the whole drive for files named KeePass.exe. Chances are you now have more than one.

@dreichl: Perhaps the About dialog should also give the path to the currently running instance?

I've now added the following:

• In the 'About KeePass' dialog, each item in the components list now has a tooltip that shows the file/folder path of the component, if it is installed.
• In the 'About KeePass' dialog, a double-click onto a component now shows the component file/folder with the file manager.
• In the 'About KeePass' dialog, the components list now has a context menu that provides the following new commands: 'Show with File Manager', 'Copy Version/Status' and 'Copy Path'.

Here's the latest development snapshot for testing:
