This function provides a simple way to test for a minimum platform level.
If for example, your application requires at least platform version 5.5 then you can use
code such as this to make a test and display information as appropriate.
Const requiredMajorVersion as Integer = 5
Const requiredMinorVersion as Integer = 5 ' Requires Platform version 5.5

isOK = Utils.IsMinimumRequiredVersion(requiredMajorVersion, requiredMinorVersion)
If Not isOK Then
' Abort, throw exception, print an error or whatever.
