Hi Mark,

When I use AGETFILEVERSION and look at the array that got mode, I see in la1[8]: "wininet.dll.mui"
So it looks like it is looking for what file to check the version.
When I look in my windows folder, I find that file in this folder: "C:\Windows\System32\en-US"

And when I make a copy of that file and rename it to "wininet.dll" and check its details, I see: File Version: 11.0.9600.16384

So the $64,000 question becomes: Why is it using the .mui file?
