I created a USB drive of Win 10 from the Media Creation tool, yesterday. All the files had a 2015 date on them and I "assumed" it was an old version. I then downloaded the ISO version and and created the USB drive with Rufus and it is the 1607 version.
I downloaded Win 10 media creation tool to do a in-place repair/upgrade due to the original AUpdate making the laptop slow, it didn't fail saying it was an old version & the USB install drive created with same tool gave me the latest version of Win 10.
As I noted all my files were 2015 dates, not 2016 using the Media Creation Tool.
But, I got the 2016 dates with just downloading the ISO file and creating the USB flash drive with Rufus.
Jack, I have the AU ISO downloaded from MSDN and all the files are dated 7/16/2016. I know that probably doesn't help you any though.
Did you download a fresh Media Creation Tool?
If you still have the MCT media, you can tell what version is in it:
-> Replace W with the drive letter of the install media on your machine
DISM.exe /Get-WimInfo /WimFile:W:\sources\install.esd /Index:1
-- for a mounted Techbench ISO --
DISM.exe /Get-WimInfo /WimFile:W:\sources\install.wim /Index:1
Sheesh, did it really take me an hour to type this?

The files that the particular Media Creation Tool you have downloads do not change over time. Download a Media Creation Tool in August, 2015 and it will download the exact same files in July 2016 - which are probably outdated. You have to do back to the Media Creation Tool website and download a new Media Creation Tool exe file to get the new files.
That's what I was guessing, my Media Creation tool is outdated. I've used that many times on client's PC's without problems but didn't consider it needed updating.
I'll get a new version.
Thanks/Jack
