You'll see numbers representing February 8 or 9 based on how far east of Austin you are.

If you're seeing 05031500, something apparently modified the .exe file today. That's not normal.
This is mostly correct, except that it is the Creation Date not the Modification Date.

Is this odd or are you saying changing the create date has an effect on the last 4 digits as well as the first 4?
I would expect the first 6 digits to change.
