FileVersionInfo.FileVersion returns ProductVersion?

I am trying to get the file version using C #:

string file = @"C:\somefile.dll";
Console.WriteLine(FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(file).FileVersion);

For most files, this is normal, but for some, I get results that are different from those presented in the Windows file explorer.

See the attached image: the version of the file presented in the windows is "0.0.0.0", however the one I got using the FileVersion property is "000.000.000.000".

I tried using different versions of .NET (2, 3.5, 4) that give the same results.

Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Thanks lior

Windows Explorer seems to drop the leading 0s version parts.

FileVersion 001.001.001.001, 1.1.1.1 . (001.001.001.001).

EDIT:

Explorer 001.001.001.001 ProductVersion, AssemblyInformationalVersion , ProductVersion.

FileVersionInfo, , -:

 this.productVersion = GetFileVersionString(memIntPtr, string.Format(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, format, new object[] { codepage, "ProductVersion" }))

:

this.fileMajor = HIWORD(fixedFileInfo.dwFileVersionMS);
this.fileMinor = LOWORD(fixedFileInfo.dwFileVersionMS);
this.fileBuild = HIWORD(fixedFileInfo.dwFileVersionLS);
this.filePrivate = LOWORD(fixedFileInfo.dwFileVersionLS);
