Version numbers are critical in MSI installers to make sure that components get updated, so yes, these are important depending on the upgrade mode. (I vaguely remember that there's a hard mode where things are forcibly replaced, and a soft mode where only components with newer version numbers are replaced, but it's from memories from quite a few years ago so I may recall incorrectly). > I checked earlier build and the same holds for ODBC 12.02.0000. Perhaps it would be better to discuss that on the pgsql-odbc list, where the driver is maintained, not pgsql-hackers. -- Michael
