How to tell the engine version of a Windows standalone?

[Mike Bonner]

I wasn't sure it would work on the others (not tested) but cool that it
does.  I've been wondering how things are shoved together in the builder...
If there just happens to be a match in someones properties, fields,
labels.. whatever.. Is there a chance that the wrong data would be
returned?  (guess it depends on order of appearance)
