Issues in VulnDetect

VulnDetect shows me FreeCommander XE donor two times (what is wrong, because one version is Public).
Therefore VulnDetect also offers an update for the "Public Version", that is not existing.

@Tom, do you have any chance to differentiate those versions?

[OLLI_S]

@Tom I found a difference in the EXE files:

FreeCommander XE Public

File Description: FreeCommander - freeware file manager for Windows

FreeCommander XE Donors

File Description: FreeCommander (x64) - file manager for Windows

So, when the word freeware is in the file description, then it is the Public version.
Otherwise it is the Donors version.

When are you going to fix this?

[Tom]

@OLLI_S Thank you.

This seems to work, this is the first app where we use the FileDescription.

But please double check with the donor version.

[OLLI_S]

Now VulnDetect detects the following applications:

• FreeCommander XE (donor), detected version: XE 2023 release 896 donor
• FreeCommander XE (free), detected version: XE 2023 Build 880 32-bit public

@Tom: Thank you SO MUCH for fixing this!
