PowerShell GUIs • Re: GUI Application Version Comparison (to check if latest version is being run)

Typically you split the version numbers in its three parts. Major, Minor, build, and convert them to integers.
Then compare the major numbers, then minor and lastly build.
if(oldmajor < newmajor) update
if(oldmajor == newmajor && oldminor < newminor) update
if(oldmajor == newmajor && oldminor == newminor && oldbuild < newbuild) update

Not elegant but it works.
This also works if someone starts to make versions like 1.02.031 and you compare to 1.2.4
I have to point out that 1.2.31 is a later version than 1.2.4
