Try:

using System.Management;

ManagementObjectSearcher query = new
    ManagementObjectSearcher("SELECT * FROM Win32_WMISetting") ;
ManagementObjectCollection items = query.Get();
foreach (ManagementObject mo in items)
{
    System.Console.WriteLine(mo["BuildVersion"]);
}

There should only be one thing in the items collection since that setting is a singleton. "BuildVersion" is the WMI version that is installed.

EDIT:

Helen's comment below gives an even more succinct solution:

System.Console.WriteLine(
       (new ManagementObject("Win32_WMISetting=@"))["BuildVersion"]);
