Tool downloads wrong Microsoft drivers #167

I have noticed this now with this particular model, but might be for others as well.

Example:

I select "Surface Book 3". The tool will find "Surface Book 3 13" and "Surface Book 3 15". In our case it's 15...

So when you download the driver pack it will download this file: SurfaceBook_Win10_18362_20.082.25857.0.msi

However, according to Microsoft, that file is in fact for the "Surface Book" (not Surface Book 3) Reference: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/surface/download-drivers-and-firmware-for-surface-09bb2e09-2a4b-cb69-0951-078a7739e120

Direct download link of the Surface Book in fact shows the exact same filename as I've mentioned before: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=49497

Now when you look at the filename in the download location of the Surface Book 3, it will show that the filename is this: SurfaceBook3_Win10_18362_20.104.43234.0.msi (<- notice the "3" in the filename)

Reference: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=101315

So the tool doesn't download the correct drivers for your particular model.

Just chiming in here: The behaviour is exactly the same for us, using version 6.4.9.

Update: I just tested with downloading Surface Book 2 drivers for Win10 1909, and the tool is picking the wrong package for that model too. Downloaded: SurfaceBook_Win10_18362_20.082.25857.0.msi Should be: SurfaceBook2_Win10_18362_20.092.24593.0.msi

Also tested with Win10 1903 and 1809, the wrong packages are downloaded then too.
