Please run pdftex --version and send the output to the list.  I'm sure
that Martin can tell you precisely then which version of TeX Live you
have.

AFAIK the "old" installer wrote this file to a temporary directory.
If I remember correctly it was c:\windows\temp but I'm not sure.
Maybe you copied it later to the TeX Live tree.  Time stamps are
usually not preserved by default and I don't know whether Windows
offers such an option at all.

TL-2008 and future versions provide a file "release-texlive.txt" in
the top-level directory.

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
