Assuming this is standard across different IE versions, and can only
assume that it would be, the version info is kept in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Version
Presumably it should be possible to access that key programmatically.
Those with more Win32 programming skills could give us an example of how,
but it seems like it'll involve (I think) Win32::Registry. I think.
