## Description
On the first install of an extension on a tenant the platform records a zero data version: `AppInfo.DataVersion()` returns `Version.Create('0.0.0.0')`. Subsequent upgrades record the actual previous version. The `OnInstallAppPerCompany` trigger uses this distinction to detect a brand-new install — for example, to seed default rows that should not be re-inserted on a normal upgrade. This is the one place where reading `DataVersion()` is the right tool; for everything else, use an upgrade tag.
On the first install of an extension on a tenant the platform records a zero data version: `AppInfo.DataVersion()` returns `Version.Create('0.0.0.0')`. During reinstall, `DataVersion()` identifies the previously installed data version. The `OnInstallAppPerCompany` trigger uses this distinction to separate a brand-new install from a reinstall. Ordinary version upgrades do not run install code.
## Best Practice
In `OnInstallAppPerCompany`, fetch the current `ModuleInfo` via `NavApp.GetCurrentModuleInfo`, compare `AppInfo.DataVersion()` to `Version.Create('0.0.0.0')`, and run install-only seed logic only when they match. On any non-zero data version, exit immediately — that path is an upgrade, not an install.
In `OnInstallAppPerCompany`, fetch the current `ModuleInfo` via `NavApp.GetCurrentModuleInfo`, compare `AppInfo.DataVersion()` to `Version.Create('0.0.0.0')`, and run first-install seed logic only when they match. On a non-zero data version, follow the reinstall path or exit.
See sample: `first-install-dataversion-zero-check.good.al`.
## Anti Pattern
Treating `OnInstallAppPerCompany` as if it always implies "fresh tenant". The trigger also fires when reinstalling over an existing data set; without the `0.0.0.0` guard, install-only seed code re-runs on every upgrade and duplicates rows.
