The only place that guarantees the version being run on the machine is
what's logged in the application event log when named starts up. Usually
digging for version.bind returns you the correct version information, unless
you have added a version statement in the options section of named.conf.
I'm aware that you are running this on an internal network.

I'd advise a reinstall. You could also take a look at libisc.dll and make sure
that it's date is the same as all of the other dll's like libdns.dll.
