Hi Howard,

I posted a reply to a similar question (for Office in general) in one of
the dotnet groups yesterday. Basically, you troll the Class_root part of
Registry for the application name (such as Word.Application). Under that
you'll find the *registered* application version (if there's more than one
this may or may not be newest version on the machine).
