Remove Shell App version name restriction

Avatar
Will Smith

Right now, all Shell Apps are required to have a version number that strictly follows this format and only allows for numbers: x.x[.x][.x]. We have some applications that don't adhere to this versioning scheme which makes it much more difficult to package a multi-version installer. Our current workaround is to create a registry key and write a value to the registry key to compare against. It would be nice if there weren't as many restrictions on how the version name should be formatted to make it easier to package applications that don't conform to this format.

For example, the problematic application's version number looks like this: 4.8.0-39126
