SPI_GETPLATFORMVERSION is used to assign a version number to a run-time image.
The IOCTL returns a single version. For example, if you want to check for version 4.2 or later, simply do a >= comparison of the return value and {4,2}.
The version information is necessary because CAB files can now specify that a run-time image only be installed on the target device if the following conditions are true:
- The run-time image name matches the name specified in the CAB file.
- The run-time image version number is in the range specified in the CAB file.
