This has been known for a while.
Simply highlight the engine file right click on properties
then click on version.

Because the file version is called 6.0.0.76 don't mean it's Fritz 6.
They could call it any version number they wish, so in this case they
forgot to change the version number. Clearly any analysis mode or test
suite should give a better idea as to how close it is to Fritz 6 than
a simple file number. Besides which would it matter if it was called
Fritz 6 and was an update to an earlier version. You still get the engine
as a bonus.

You get TWO very strong engines and a new GUI to which there will soon
be a patch released.
