Hey Steve,
The version number of Measurement Studio should typically show up in MAX. If it does not, you might try Help>>System Information (which details all NI software on the system) rather than simply the Software category.
In any case, you can find out the version of Measurement Studio as well in Add/Remove Programs. Shortly after the listing for "National Instruments Software", there should be a listing for "NI Measurement Studio ... " (Note: This is where the Measurement Studio support for Visual Studio 6.0 support would show up, not VS .NET.)
Thanks,
