Do you include version numbers in your
setup filename? I'm always downloading
my favourite 3rd party software
utilities from the web. But I find it
very frustrating if the developer has
not made it easy to check whether I've
already got the latest version. It is
not OK to expect a user to run the
setup.exe in order to find out what
version it is. The easy solution is to include the
version number in the name of the setup
file. We use [productname]_ver[major
version]-[minor version].exe E.g.
SSWCodeAuditor_Ver1-89.exe
In .NET, however, you strike a
problem. .NET removes any 0 in the
prefix and so e.g. _v1-02 becomes _v1-2.
The rather contrived solution is to
start minor versions at 11. Therefore
_v1-11.exe is your first version.
To deal with those naughty developers
who don't include version numbers,
rename the file after you download it...
