Even after fixing this, the new feed doesn't have an application identity which
causes the apuputil ProcessEntry parser to ignore it.
<code>
// If there is no application identity or no version, skip the whole thing.
if ((!pApupEntry->wzApplicationId && !wzDefaultAppId) || !fVersionFound)
{
ExitFunction1(hr = S_FALSE); // skip this update since it has no
application id or version.
}
</code>
After that, I found another issue in ApupCalculateChainFromAtom where the chain
happily had nulled entries out in the chain if the feed was missing required
data. I think I have a simple fix for this as well to just ReAlloc at the end
to free the unused memory.

As Burn came along we realized we need to differentiate versions from numbers.
That's why in Burn you put a "v" in front of numbers that are to be compared as
versions (instead of numbers). That concept kinda' spread.
I think it would be great if FireVersionFromString respected the "v" concept.

Rob,
Can you tell me the allowed formats of <as:version> (or better yet make
available that hidden documentation on the appsyn namespace)? It seems the WiX
feed decided to place a v prefix on the number, and the apuputil is using
FileVersionFromString(pElement->wzValue, &dwMajor, &dwMinor) which does not
like the v prefix.
Thanks,
Jacob
