APPVEYOR_BUILD_VERSION on release branches contains alpha characters
Is it possible to prevent APPVEYOR_BUILD_VERSION from containing alpha characters on non-master branch builds?
For example, my version numbers appear as 2.6.7-mkygtkrh when building PR's and this breaks the windows based ISS installer that can only accept regular numeric version numbers. I don't see other environment variables or settings for this, maybe I'm missing it somewhere.
I could probably do some replacement of some kind, but it would be nice to have standard version numbers in these cases too. Is this a fallback and I'm missing an option?

You probably have "Pull Requests do not increment build number" option enabled on General tab of project settings (see screenshot).
