[issue43284] Inability to fetch build 20H2

Yeah, that all makes sense. 90%+ of the time, checking the version number is a compatibility issue waiting to happen.

For the other 10% (diagnostic logging), it would be nice to have a better option than running "cmd /c ver", but that might be the easiest thing to do. I'd want to remove any pretence that the returned version is a comparable number, and I'm not sure how easily we can do that without hurting compatibility...
