Remarks
Use the Version element if you want to specify which version of Microsoft SQL Server Notification Services the ICF conforms to or to track the ICF version using your own version numbers.
When you first create the database, if you do not specify a version number, Notification Services enters version 0.0.0.0 in the instance database. For subsequent updates, Notification Services uses the most recent version number, which it obtains from the database.
When you update the instance, Notification Services always enters the version number into the database regardless of any other changes in the ICF or application definition file (ADF).
Example
This example shows a complete version element for ICF version 2.0.1.1.
<Version>
<Major>2</Major>
<Minor>0</Minor>
<Build>1</Build>
<Revision>1</Revision>
</Version>
