New-Win32App fails on VersionComparisonValue not matching REGEX string

[Eagle-Admin]

Using the supplied 7-zip example App.json, running the pipeline fails at New-Win32App in publish_apps.

The argument "<replaced_by_pipeline>" does not match the "^(\d+(\.\d+){0,3})$" pattern. Supply an argument that 
matches "^(\d+(\.\d+){0,3})$" and try the command again.

I'm unsure if the error is on my part, or the supplied app.json.

Seems like the original App.json recipe wasn't properly processed in a previous stage by the script Prepare-AppPackageFolder.ps1. How exactly did you execute the Intune App Factory on your end?
