When a new typed-in value can't be converted to suit the property then a
message box is displayed, however only a generic error message is displayed and
not the error from the TypeConverter ConvertFrom call itself.

See repro app property "FooVersion5WithTypeConvTypeof".  Enter value "zzzz"
should see error: "Need format [v]x.x.x.x, e.g. v1.2.3.4 or 91.2.65535.1".  Or
enter "1.2.3.444444" (six 4s) should see error: "must number between 0 to
65535".

BTW MSFT displays a generic error alongwith the precise error in a optional
panel.
