When using GetFileVersion on a windows 10 system and using Kixtart version 4.66 or 4.67 I get a false file version back. Below is a script I am using.
? '------ Entering Testscript.kix ------'
;************************************************************************
$RC=setoption("WOW64AlternateRegView","On")
$RC=setoption("Wow64FileRedirection","on")
$RC=setoption("WrapATEOL","on")
$RC=setoption("NoVarsinStrings","on")
$RC=setoption("NoMacrosinstrings","on")
?
? "Kix Version - " @kix
? "Windows OS - " @producttype + " " + iif(@onwow64,"64bit","32bit")
$SCRIPTPATH = "\\mycomputer123\C$\Users\me123\Desktop\myscript\Scripts"
;************************************************************************
;***** Call Functions.kix to load all custom functions *****
;************************************************************************
Call $SCRIPTPATH + "\Functions.kix"
;************************************************************************
;***** Windows 10 test *****
;************************************************************************
$GoodVersionNum = "10.0.10586.17"
$FilePath = "%windir%\System32\Mssign32.dll"
;************************************************************************
$FileVersion = GetFileVersion($FilePath, "BinFileVersion")
;************************************************************************
If $FileVersion <> "" AND instr($FileVersion_C, "Good")
$Patch = "Good"
Else
$Patch = "Bad"
EndIf
;************************************************************************
$Patch_T1 = " Patch 1 Installed version: " + $FileVersion + " Required version is: " + $GoodVersionNum
?
? "File path we are looking into"
? $FilePath
?
? "File's version that Kixtart can see"
? $FileVersion
?
? "File version and what it needs to be at."
? $Patch_T1
?
;************************************************************************
? '------ End of Testscript.kix ------'
?
This is what it returns after running the script
------ Entering Testscript.kix ------
Kix Version - 4.67
Windows OS - Windows 10 Enterprise 64bit
File path we are looking into
C:windowsSystem32Mssign32.dll
Files version that Kixtart can see
6.2.10586.17
File version and what it needs to be at.
Patch 1 Installed version: 6.2.10586.17 Required version is: 10.0.10586.17
------ End of Testscript.kix ------
* there are backslashes in the file path
The real file version for this .dll file is 10.0.10586.17

It is likely you are looking for a 32bit file. On a 64bit OS, System32 is the 64bit location of the file. Look in SysWow64 and see if you get better results.
%systemroot%\syswow64
I use the following UDF to avoid this problem.
function System32()
$System32="%systemroot%\" + iif(@onwow64,"syswow64","system32")
endfunction

I added in that function and it still sees it as the wrong file version
*note I added in the function into my function.kix script.*
? '------ Entering Testscript.kix ------'
;************************************************************************
$RC=setoption("WOW64AlternateRegView","on")
$RC=setoption("Wow64FileRedirection","on")
$RC=setoption("WrapATEOL","on")
$RC=setoption("NoVarsinStrings","on")
$RC=setoption("NoMacrosinstrings","on")
?
? "Kix Version - " @kix
? "Windows OS - " @producttype + " " + iif(@onwow64,"64bit","32bit")
$SCRIPTPATH = "\\mlwxw3-4220ly\C$\Users\1110211712A\Desktop\TCNO_Tracker_Tester\Scripts"

;************************************************************************
$FQFN = $FilePath
$attribute = 159
$FileVersion = GetExtFileProperties($FQFN, $attribute)
;************************************************************************
If $FileVersion <> "" AND instr($FileVersion_C, "Good")
$Patch = "Good"
Else
$Patch = "Bad"
EndIf
;************************************************************************

159 works properly if you copy Mssign32.dll and rename it to Mssign32-Copy.dll or something.
Which make this whole thing weird...
This points it out quicker:
? CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").GetFileVersion("C:\Windows\System32\mssign32 - Copy.dll")
? CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").GetFileVersion("C:\Windows\System32\mssign32.dll")
But luckily WMI doesn't fail 
? GetObject("winmgmts:\\.\root\cimv2").ExecQuery("Select * from CIM_Datafile Where Name = 'c:\\windows\\system32\\mssign32.dll'").ItemIndex(0).Version

The WMI Code in Function format.
function WMIFileVersion($FQFN)
dim $RC,$NVIS
$NVIS=setoption("NoVarsinstrings","On")
if exist($FQFN)
$RC=execute('$WMIFileVersion=GetObject("winmgmts:\\.\root\cimv2").ExecQuery("Select * from CIM_Datafile Where Name =' + "'" + $FQFN + "'" + '").ItemIndex(0).Version')
endif
$RC=setoption("NoVarsinstrings",$NVIS)
endfunction
Didn't look into it very deep, but even this one had trouble determining a version of at least one exe, it came back with nothing. At least there are options here.
