1. How can a file that says it's version 1.0.7 change into version 1.0.4 when it's copied to a different folder?
2. Why can't I delete the previous version 1.0.4 from the Trash?

Because it is in use; it was loaded by Applescript.

That's the usual case.

If you have it in the user's scripting additions folder, log out and log back in. Otherwise, reboot.

I think he might have to reboot if he's using Mac OS X Server and for sure if it's located in /Library/ScriptingAdditions.



Maybe the Get Info string was not changed when the product was updated, or maybe the version number is in memory along with the scripting addition itself.

The info string is fine. The sure verification check is to open MetaData.osax/Contents/Info.plist with Property List Editor so as to make sure the Finder is not using a stale cache of the info.
