Icon0005.shp was last updated in the MBT V4 patch and when I make a fresh extraction of that patch into a test folder and check the details of the file I get the same info I reported earlier.

Your's is different. The sizes are exactly the same but the the reported Modified date is not the same. The Created date for all three version of my file I checked are different.

the Test folder I just created shows

However ALL three show

AND........ all three show today as the Accessed date. Why your's shows 29 April 2008 as "today" is another mystery ( you may refer back to my earlier remark that your computer may be cursed )


I cannot explain why but I can guess but that's not the same as knowing. I would suggest as a start you extract the V4 patch to a test folder then check the dates the version of Icon0005.shp that pops out reports and see if they are the same as mine or your old install.

We'll take it a step at a time depending on the answer.
