Elite Dangerous

The game Elite Dangerous consist of multiple applications:

Elite Dangerous Launcher (the launcher, separate EXE)
Elite Dangerous (the basic game, separate EXE)
Elite Dangerous: Arena (PVP mode, no separate EXE)
Elite Dangerous: Horizons (the game with the Horizons extension, no separate EXE)
Elite Dangerous: Odyssey (the game with the Odyssey extension, separate EXE)
Elite Dangerous: Single Player Combat Training (also this is a separate EXE but without valid version information yet)

In the launcher users can select at the bottom wich game they want to launch:

After Scrolling down, you see the other games:

The two extensions "Horizons" and "Odyssey" are sold separate.
Some players (like me) have all extensions installed, some players might have only one extension or no extension installed.
Players having the extensions installed can select to launch Elite without any extension to play with friends that don't have the extensions.

In the Launcher the different applications are updated separate (so I can play "Elite Dangerous" with an outdated "Elite Dangerous: Odyssey" extension.
This is the reason why VulnDetect must list all EXE files (currently don't show the EXE of the Odyssey extension).

And you should bundle all games under the Elite Dangerous Launcher because the launcher is the main application, and the various games are sub-applications:

▼ Elite Dangerous Launcher

Elite Dangerous

Elite Dangerous: Odyssey

Elite Dangerous: Single Player Combat Training

Really name the root application "Elite Dangerous Launcher".

@Tom
In the meantime I received some updates for various products:

Elite Dangerous: Odyssey
Elite Dangerous: Horizons

So it might be good to add the individual products.
