The application name for DisplayFusion seems to sometimes be inconsistent. With versions 10.0.0 and 10.1.1, I sometimes see the name being just "DisplayFusion" and other times "DisplayFusion (64 bit)". For versions below 10, it always seems to be "Display Fusion [version number]" (e.g. "Display Fusion 9.9").
What is the source of these inconsistences? I'm especially interested in the difference between "DisplayFusion" and "DisplayFusion (64 bit)", since they both seem to be 64 bit applications. Is there a way to make it consistent?
Thanks!
Where are you reading the app name?

In Programs and Features.
Ah, before v10 the installer was combined 32 & 64 bit, and showed the version number. v10 and up are 64 bit only, and show as "DisplayFusion".
Thanks!

But it doesn't always show as "DisplayFusion (64 bit)". It did before for me, but when I uninstalled and reinstalled, it's now showing simply as "DisplayFusion". See attached.

Sorry, that file includes a lot of personal information that I'd rather not post publicly.
Is there something in particular you're interested in seeing? I'd be happy to post screenshots or text of the relevant sections!
I'm mainly just interested in the "System Information" section

Hey Owen, I think I finally found a consistent way to get one and the other. If I already have 9.9 installed and then install 10.1.1, I get "DisplayFusion (64 bit)". However, if I have no version of DisplayFusion installed and then install 10.1.1, I get just "DisplayFusion".
Hopefully that helps you narrow down the problem. Have you found anything else?

And btw, I'm installing it with the following command:
msiexec.exe /i DisplayFusionSetup-10.1.1.msi /passive CUSTOM1="/VERYSILENT" LAUNCHAFTER=0 STARTUPALL=1 STARTUPUSER=0 TASKS="desktopicon,desktopicon\common,!desktopicon\user" LKEYALL="[the key]"
Again, hopefully this helps.

So I did a bit more testing and these are my findings:
SUMMARY: Going from 9.9 to any version works as expected. Going from no DF (or a version later than 9.9) to a version later than 9.9, doesn't work as expected.
If I start with no DisplayFusion on my device and I install:
- 9.9: the name will be "Display Fusion 9.9"
- 10.0.0: the name will be "Display Fusion"
- 10.1.1: the name will be "Display Fusion"
If I start with DisplayFusion version 9.9 on my device and I install:
- 10.0.0: the name will be "Display Fusion (64-bit)"
- 10.1.1: the name will be "Display Fusion (64-bit)"
If I start with DisplayFusion version 10.0.0 on my device and I install:
- 10.1.1: the name will be "Display Fusion"
!!! Note that if I start with DisplayFusion 9.9 and go to 10.0.0 and then go to 10.1.1, I get "DisplayFusion" also

Hello, just wondering if anybody has had a chance to look at this. Is this a bug? Are you in the process of researching how to fix it? Any update would be appreciated!
Yeah fresh installs from 10.0 and up will just show "DisplayFusion", that will be consistent going forward. Upgrading from 9.9 will use the old method, which is why it still shows the "64 bit" at the end, until you do a fresh install with the new version.

That seems like a strange thing to do. I see no reason why the naming isn't made to be consistent.
Also, I don't think a fresh install is needed. If I go from 9.9 to 10.0.0 I'll see "Display Fusion (64-bit)". Then if, from 10.0.0, I go to 10.1.1 I'll see "Display Fusion". I don't need to uninstall and reinstall fresh. Is that a bug?
Can I get a guarantee that if a new update comes out, and I upgrade from 10.1.1 (regardless of whether I have the "DisplayFusion" or the "DisplayFusion (64-bit)" 10.1.1 "version" installed) to the new one, it will just say "Display Fusion"?
