I vote for that. I really don't care or mind if the patch number high. I also agree that this is proper release mgmt. Maybe a lister can take a look at the Service Transitioning ITIL guide to see what is the best practice

Having the ability to ascertain which of those I have installed would be much more useful if we had some sort of lookup table available to tell us which of the three we had installed, so that we would be able to know whether it was the most current one. Our operational issues require that we be able to identify what's on our systems. Something like the SHARE:ApplicationProperties would be a natural place for that, but I would hope that you could identify someplace that could be updated more quickly and regularly. A simpler solution would be to simply increment the patch numbers each time one is released or fixed, and disable those known to be failures. Thoughts?
