Issue:
The error message does not clearly indicate that the version number format is incorrect or suggest a resolution.
Solution:
Specifying the version number in x.y.z format, such as 2.17.0, resolves the issue. A more informative error message, guiding the user to use the correct version format, would be helpful.
