Re: [WiX-users] ProductVersion / Small Updates

[Pally S. <pal...@ie...>]

Windows Installer only uses the first 3 fields of version numbers so you
can change the 4th one as much as you'd like. See ->

Personally I stay away from Small Updates for this reason. Minor
upgrades work just as well with no ambiguity.

Subject: [WiX-users] ProductVersion / Small Updates

AFAIK for a small update (not minor upgrade) the version number of a
product must not change. The problem is: How to identify which version
(the original or the patched one) is installed now?

 

Maybe I misunderstood the contraint about version numbers, so I *may*
change the ProductVersion, but I *must not* modify major.minor but only
the postfixed fraction (major.minor.x.y)?
