[wix-users] detect windows build in bundle

[Adnan Shaheen]

I need the build number to detect if the bundle is running on windows 2019
or not. Because on windows 2019, if wix bundle is not run as admin, the
reboot button doesn't do anything on a clean install, unless the bundle is
run as admin.
So I have to check if the bundle is not run as admin, and it is windows
2019, so fail the install with message to elevate the bundle.exe
If someone has other better solution, like we can elevate MSI or something
else, please do share.

Regards:
Adnan Shaheen.
