What about version numbers? It'd be useful to know if the live update is actually updating files if there was a method to check versioning.

The issue of version numbers is a bit controversial. I think it only gives users a false sense of security, with no sure way to know if all files of the product are really ok.

Here's a discussion about it, with a real life example of an updater with a version number that, cannot detect changes to files, because it likely checks only a single file for the version number:

I understand - I guess ultimately (as a consumer) my request would be that we have a method of knowing that there is an update, and that the update successfully applied. How that's done, I'll leave to the experts!
