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.

To read version from resource RC-file you can use:

for /F "tokens=3" %%a in ( 'findstr ProductVersion YourProgram.rc' ) do set VERSION=%%~a

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.

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
