echo %FileVersion%

I'd like retrieve attribute 'Product Version' of file C:\Tool.exe. To do that I use a powershell command and I want save that value to a variable called 'File Version' and later print out it, but it doesnt works! Can you help me?

Just be aware that you may not get the string you were expecting. — Compo

For some yet to be understood logic, a FOR loop must be used.

FOR /F "delims=" %%A IN ('powershell (Get-Command C:\Tool.exe).FileVersionInfo.ProductVersion') DO (SET "FileVersion=%%~A")
