I have some doubts about the patches. I made a some tests and doing a minor upgrade, I was able to update files, keys ... etc.. To make the minor I changed the package code and version. But in order to function, in the version we must change the third digit. There any way that the digit is not the third? For example the first version is 1.0.0.1, the next version is a patch and should be version 1.0.0.1 SP1. But this does not make the minor, and if I wrote 1.0.SP1 gives an error since it does not allow letters. Is there any way to make an update (a patch) modifying the fourth digit?
I am afraid not, the fourth digit is the build number. And you can only use numerals in your version numbers. If you want to do a patch, you must bump the third digit. For example;
1.0.0.1 - Initial Release 1.0.0.2 - Second Build, no patch would be performed 1.0.1.0 - First Minor Upgrade/update, patch would be performed 1.0.1.1 - Fourth build, no patch would be performed 1.1.0.0 - First Major upgrade/update, patch would be performed 1.1.0.1 - Sixth build, no patch would be performed
