You can use sigcheck tool which is part of Sysinternals Suite since filever is quiet old, e.g.
$ sigcheck.exe -q -n app.exe
5.0.0.1241
By specifying -q (quiet) and -n, it'll show you only the file version number.

How to use the Filever.exe tool to obtain specific information about a file in Windows
From what I gather about filever's output it's always in columns and you want the fifth column (version). So a simple for should suffice:
for /f "tokens=5 delims= " %%v in ('filever myFile.dll /b') do echo %%v

I know about Filever, but it gaves too many information. Could you help me in parsing output of filever? – zabulus Mar 18 '11 at 09:17

@zabalus: See edit. I didn't find `filever` for Windows 7 so I couldn't test directly but the code works for the sample output given in the KB article. – Joey Mar 18 '11 at 10:26

For dummy's like me there is one correction in the above statement to get the value of product version it would be like:
for /f "tokens=5 delims= " %%v in ('filever myFile.dll /b /v') do echo %%v
the /v parameter was missing and I am unable to get the correct value.

To read version from resource RC-file you can use:
for /F "tokens=3" %%a in ( 'findstr ProductVersion YourProgram.rc' ) do set VERSION=%%~a
