LOL. It isn't a decimal number though... It is a series of
variable length decimal numbers separated by the period character... Sort of
like an OID
1.2.840.113556.1.4.7000.102.7038
Versioning is a lost art I think though. I am big on
xx.yy.zz.nnnn xx.=major, yy=minor, zz=really minor, nnnn=build.
To me... major rev changes for big changes, massive updates
or rewrites or drammatic functional changes. minor is added features, bug
fixes. really minor is output string changes or remarks in the code being
changed, things that don't change the code flow and don't require any
serious testing (I rarely update this one). And build of course is how many
times the bin has been compiled.
G:\>filever f:\dev\cpp\adfind\adfind.exe
--a-- W32i APP ENU 1.29.0.785 shp 950,784 12-22-2005 adfind.exe The current release version of adfind for instance has
been compiled 785 times. Well actually that is incorrect, it has compiled 785
times since V01.08.00. There was a little bug in the routine I had been using to
increment the counter and it was resetting on every new minor version rev. If I
follow the average I am probably off by 250-300 compile build numbers but I
expect it is less than that because as the complexity grew in versions >15
the number of compiles between releases went up due to testing and bug hunting.

Ask a user if version 1.4.4 is newer or older than 1.4.3.4
:)
Some say "34>4 therefore the latter is newer" some say
"4>3 therefore the former is newer"
neil
PS The purist in me would say that without a leading 0, the
196 below looks like 1 thousand 9 hundred and 60 and 1960>1830. it's all
about justification, when dealing with the decimal notation

Are you asking if 1830 < 196

On Behalf Of Noah
Eiger Hi- I am
preparing to upgrade a W2k domain to W2k3. I want to use the latest version of
ADPrep. I have found the following info and am
confused: For
ADPrep on the following - From
Windows Server 2003 CD:
5.2.3790.0
July 22, 2004, 9:07:08 AM from
WindowsServer2003-KB889101-SP1-x86-ENU.exe:
5.2.3790.1830
November 07, 2005, 5:48:59 PM listed
in MSKB / Hotfix 324392
5.2.3790.196
July 23, 2004, 9:04 Am I
reading that correctly: the one from SP1 is a lower version and later date than
the one in the hotfix? Which one is the “latest”? Thanks. --
