TestExecute - Notify when running project created with newer version of TestComplete

I updated TestComplete to 12.3, but forgot to also update TestExecute on my test machines. It does not automatically try to update from 12.2 to 12.3 on startup, and even manually telling TestExecute 12.2 to check for updates will not suggest 12.3.

 

In one of my test scripts, I was using a feature newly introduced to Python in 3.5, so of course, the test ran perfectly fine when started from TestComplete 12.3, but failed with a not-super-helpful error message when run in TestExecute 12.2.

 

It would have been nice (and saved me several hours troubleshooting and head scratching) if TestExecute had somehow been able to recognize and alert me to the fact that the project suite it was running was created on a newer version than itself, and suggest updating to match.
