Calculating product versions for MSI packages compatible with semantic versioning
In my new project Jarvis I wanted to start generate preview versions of the MSI packages, but one problem with that is that MSI requires the product version to be in the format Major.Minor.Patch which isn't compatible with semantic verisoning. We CAN use the Major.Minor.Patch.Revision format as a product version, but that won't work with major upgrades. An example of this would be 1.2.3-alpha45 which would require a different version number than 1.2.3-alpha46.
