VDS_E_INVALID_PROVIDER_VERSION_STRING
VDS_E_INVALID_PROVIDER_VERSION_STRING reports invalid descriptive version metadata. The string complements, but does not replace, the provider version GUID and helps administrators correlate the active provider with vendor packages and logs.
Validate version metadata at installation time
- Provide a nonempty Unicode version string with a stable format.
- Keep it consistent with the installed binaries and version GUID.
- Avoid expanding an absent environment or registry value into an empty string.
Changing the version string does not upgrade the provider or repair an interface mismatch. Use it as diagnostic metadata, not as a compatibility decision by itself. After correcting registration, reload VDS and verify that IVdsProvider::GetProperties returns the expected version fields.
