Scott... you da man :)
The clue that turned it for me was your suggestion that I look at the
launcher's info. Should have tried that before but didn't think of it.. my
bad. The launcher was showing the correct version. Therefore, I switched to
check for tver resource 1 first then 1000 if none found.
Turns out tver resource 1 contains the valid string. 1000 continues to
return an empty string. Interesting but problem solved.
Thanks much.
