Nice detective work Frank!
Yes, I saw "winnet.dll.mui" in AGETFILEVERSION's array also, but win explorer didn't show any details for it when I right clicked the file. I didn't think to copy and rename it to remove the .mui first and then check the properties. good thinking! That solves the mystery. From what I read, .mui files are language translations for the dll. Apparently they don't get updated with each update of the dll.
So the solution for getting the version of the active wininet.dll, is to copy it from \windows\system32\ to a temp folder and then use AGETFILEVERSION on the temp file location. then delete the temp file. Easy enough.
Thanks again all! Mystery solved, and solution found.
