Windows Vista, 7, 8 and 8.1 protect the files in the program files directories from change, diverting any updates to the virtual store location in your hidden files. It seems to be buggy in that programs run later open the files (the original versions are in the regular program folder directories, the updated versions in the virtualstore section) from the normal location so it appears that your updates to it are never detected.
