Name of the game:

The Elder Scrolls Online

ZeniMax Online Studios

Website:

https://www.elderscrollsonline.com

Download Site:

https://elderscrolls-a.akamaihd.net/products/BNA_Launcher/Install_ESO.exe

Notes:

The game has a separate launcher (like Elite Dangerous)
In the game folder there is an 64-Bit exe (eso64.exe) so I guess on 32-Bit systems there will be a 32-Bit exe (eso.exe)

Summary

Both version numbers (of the launcher and the game) are not stored in the exe files.
So you need to find an other way to detect them.

This game is updated to newest version whenever you log unto server - so, as you can't play using old version, it makes little sense (IMO) to bother about it.

I know that The Elder Scrolls Online is automatically updated.
But other games that also have this Auto-Update feature are already detected by VulnDet (for example Elite Dangerous or Star Citizen).

The makes it comfortable for players to download larger patches/updates for games when they don't want to play.
So the update can be downloaded while users are working or not actively use the PC and when they want to play the game they don't have to wait until an update is installed.

By the way: there is also a separate suggestion for this feature: Show updates for Games.
Feel free to vote for this suggestion or to comment it.

Today I installed an update for The Elder Scrolls Online (the Game, not the launcher).

Version number displayed in the game:

4.1.7.1648869

Here the information extracted from the EXE file:

File name and path:     E:\Zenimax Online\The Elder Scrolls Online\game\client\eso64.exe
Product Name:           ESO
Internal Name:          ESO
Original Filename:      ESO.exe

As you see the same version information like in the old version.

@NoxPlayer can you please post some information about the game and about the launcher?
Like you see it for Star Citizen (different EXE files for the game and the launcher, both have different app-icons).
Thank you!

Here is a template that you can use:

Name of the app:
xxxxx

Developer:
xxxxx

Website:
xxxxx

Download Site:
xxxxx

Version number displayed in the app:
xxxxx

App-Icon
Please send the App-Icon as ico-format to tom@vulndetect.com
If you need help extracting the app-icon then see here

Please send also the version information for the launcher and the game (two separate version information).
You can use the Toolbox for VulnDetect to extract the version info.

Thank you for helping us.

@NoxPlayer Currently I am tidy-up this forum and here I saw, that for The Elder Scrolls Online thee is already a request from 2018.
This other request has all required information, so I will merge the two topics.
