How is decided, if a software version is called 1.1 / 1.0.1 / 1.0.0.1 / 1.0.0.0.1 etc.?

Well windows installer will by default only override files when its newer based on the version number. It will only look at the first 3 numbers. So often windows or multiplatform software will use only the first 3 numbers. Also very often companies use the 3rd number as a kind of patch number. Meaning x.x.2 is newer as x.x.1 but does not introduce new features or breaking changes. But this is entirely decided by the company
