This was reported here.

Comment 2 Regina Henschel 2016-10-16 15:12:25 UTC
The version infos are contained in the file version.ini and can be found with the keys "buildid" and "MsiProductVersion"; no need to call soffice at all.
Comment 3 Yousuf Philips (jay) (retired) 2016-10-16 19:40:16 UTC
Querying the version number was just an example of what the wrong behaviour should is happening.
Comment 4 Regina Henschel 2016-10-16 20:05:43 UTC
It seems that for --help and --version the dialog is intended for non-UNX. It is there from the beginning, see file /desktop/source/app/cmdlinehelp.cxx and its history.

Possibly duplicate of bug 100826?
Comment 6 Yousuf Philips (jay) (retired) 2016-10-17 03:01:28 UTC
@Regina: outputting help in the gui dialog to some degree makes sense on windows, but why would the output of the version number be something that should be outputted to a dialog. Even running `soffice --headless --version` or `soffice --invisible --version` still opens the dialog.

@Aron: Why not. :D
