Does anyone regularly update Visual Studio?

I use DUMPBIN a lot. So It's mentioned in my AppPaths key. When I update Visual Studio it usually stops working. So I have a FIXDUMPBIN.BTM. I updated Wednesday and when I ran the BTM, I saw this.

The AppPaths entries are now ...
exe:  C:\program files\microsoft visual studio\2022\community\vc\tools\msvc\14.41.34120\bin\hostx64\x64\dumpbin.exe
path: C:\program files\microsoft visual studio\2022\community\vc\tools\msvc\14.41.34120\bin\hostx64\x64\

Proposed entries are ...
exe:  C:\program files\microsoft visual studio\2022\community\vc\tools\msvc\14.29.30133\bin\hostx64\x64\dumpbin.exe
path: C:\program files\microsoft visual studio\2022\community\vc\tools\msvc\14.29.30133\bin\hostx64\x64\

Continue? (Y|N) ... y
EXE  ... 0
PATH ... 0
The new values are
exe:  C:\program files\microsoft visual studio\2022\community\vc\tools\msvc\14.29.30133\bin\hostx64\x64\dumpbin.exe
path: C:\program files\microsoft visual studio\2022\community\vc\tools\msvc\14.29.30133\bin\hostx64\x64\

The version numbers make that look like a regression. Any thoughts?

I'm presently at VS2022 14.42.34433

Yes, it's a pain that with each new version of VS, the folder changes for the utilities.

I have an alias

exports is an alias : %@word[2,%@everything[dumpbin.exe]] /exports

This allows me to run dumpbin.exe /exports even when the folder changes due to a new VS 2022 update.
