Hi Michael,
Thanks for the response.
I do use the console version. I am talking about the tool itself. It does not offer quiet switch parameter - something like /quiet /silent / etc. I you go to start menu then run it still opens in a new window even you choose -c - no console output.
"Not writing vulnerable/not vulnerable is by design". Again lack of consistence. The version 00086 does write the status in the registry.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Intel\Setup and Configuration Software\INTEL-SA-00086 Discovery Tool\System Status]
"System Risk"="This system is vulnerable."
What's more after applying the firmware fix the tool crashes.
PS C:\temp\Intel-SA-00086> .\Intel-SA-00086-console.exe
INTEL-SA-00086 Detection Tool will start analysis in 8sec.
Unhandled Exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

I stick to my opinion, that this specific Intel's software is very low quality and not developed for IT Pro Admins in mind.
I appreciate you clarification on the FWversion and the logic behind the SVN value.
