Thanks for verifying that you get the same difference as I do.
I just now copied c:\windows\syswow64\wininet.dll to c:\temp\ folder.
then did:
? AGETFILEVERSION(la1, "c:\temp\wininet.dll"), la1(11)
and yay!! it returns the same version as win explorer.

... so now the question is, what and where is Fox finding wininet.dll. I've searched the entire pc, and can't find any with the 16384 version. what a mystery huh??

I don't suppose it's possible to force a different wininet.dll with my vfp app? that's probably not a good idea if I could. I need to make sure they aren't using the buggy one from MS.

btw, what does TTF mean?
