How to Detect IE Version on Vista and Above

Question

I would like to detect what version IE is running on Vista and above (I am developing on 7). I currently use WMI on XP, but it appears that this is no more. I have searched for an answer and so far I have found the following solutions:

Using System.Windows.Forms
WebBrowser wb = new WebBrowser;
wb.Version;

SELECT path,filename,extension,version FROM CIM_DataFile WHERE path="\\Program Files\\Internet Explorer\\" AND filename="iexplore" AND extension="exe" AND version>"8.0"

And there is probably a way of looking up in the registry.

Is there must a more elegant solution to this?
