The version number can be stored in two different ways in the PE version resource.

VIProductVersion sets the version number in the fixed block called VS_FIXEDFILEINFO and can only contain numbers.

You can also add string information with VIAddVersionKey and these are normally displayed in the UI.

VIProductVersion "1.2.3.4"
VIAddVersionKey FileVersion "1.2hello.3.4" ; Displayed at the top of the version tab on <= WinXP
VIAddVersionKey ProductVersion "1.2.world3.4"

The only way to resolve this is to provide the version string in the correct format. Your version string contains a letter, but it can only contain numbers.

Windows convention for version strings is <major version>.<minor version>.<build number>.<revision>.
