If you execute the following from the VFP command window (to show the wininet.dll product version):
? AGETFILEVERSION(la1, "wininet.dll"), la1(11)
It displays: 11.00.9600.16384 as the product version.

But if I use Windows Explorer and right click on either file: "c:\windows\system32\wininet.dll" or "c:\windows\sysWoW64\wininet.dll" and select properties > details, they both show 11.00.9600.16521

Why the difference? I can't find any other wininet.dll that FoxPro may be finding. (I'm on Win8.1).

I need to check the wininet.dll version installed in my app, because MS recently (as of Feb 28, 2014) updated wininet.dll in an IE11 update which fixed a serious bug in the FTP functions from a previous IE11 update.

Bug details here: https://connect.microsoft.com/IE/feedback/details/808279/ftpopenfile-and-internetwritefile-broken-changed-in-ie11

Thanks for any suggestions on how to retrieve the installed wininet.dll version, or why the difference.
