I have cleaned out the cache and checked out where i downloaded it from and it was from msgpluslive.net/download/
when i hover the mouse over the one i have downloaded it says it is version 4.0.0.240 ......i clicked on the 4.01.240 and thought that was what i was downloading, but ended up with the other one.
A version indication of a file is kept in many places. What you have downloaded is version 4.01.240.
The file itself is reported by Windows to be version 4.0.0.240, but that is only because the field used by Windows to get the version number wasn't updated properly.
VS_VERSION_INFO (used by the tooltips in Windows Explorer)
File Version: 4.0.0.240
Product Version: 4.0.0.240
StringFileInfo (used by the File Properties in Windows Explorer -right click file > properties-)
FileVersion: 4, 01, 0, 240
ProductVersion: 4, 01, 0, 240
To clearly identify a file you need to make a hash of it.
The MD5 hash of the latest version (4.01.240) is: 371d1c3eaabb6a069ac3d5726181bff6
The CRC32 hash is: 34476661
You can check this using programs like
HashCalc or the likes (Google for more, the net is full of them).
