 Replying to [comment:1 kurthindenburg]:
 > I think this should be fatal so that the user has to remove the version.
 Otherwise, the user might not see the message and will still be confused.

 That sounds reasonable.


 Replying to [comment:2 kurthindenburg]:
 > If you want to only note if the provided @version is different then the
 current port's version, I haven't determine how to do that and not sure if
 it is possible.

 On second thought, issuing the error regardless may be better. Otherwise
 the user may be confused why it "worked" some times and not others.
