Late binding sometimes is your friend:

Set objWord = CreateObject("Word.Application")
Wscript.Echo "Version: " & objWord.Version
Wscript.Echo "Build: " & objWord.Build
objWord.Quit

The accompanying Delphi code:

uses
  System.Win.ComObj;

procedure TTestVersionAgnosticWordMainForm.GetWordApplicationInfoButtonClick(Sender: TObject);
var
  WordApplication: OleVariant;
  Version: OleVariant;
  Build: OleVariant;
begin
  WordApplication := CreateOleObject('Word.Application');
  try
    try
      Version := WordApplication.Version;
      Build := WordApplication.Build;
      LogMemo.Lines.Add(Version);
      LogMemo.Lines.Add(Build);
    finally
      WordApplication.Quit;
    end;
  finally
    WordApplication := Unassigned; // release it
  end;
end;
