Description
In my routine, I check the `VersionInfo.FileVersion` property to verify whether I need to install a new software version. E.g (pseudo code):
```
$currentversion = [System.Version](Get-ItemProperty "C:\Program Files (x86)\dotnet-core-uninstall\dotnet-core-uninstall.exe").VersionInfo.FileVersion
$latestversion = [System.Version](Get-ItemProperty "C:\Users\Downloads\dotnet-core-uninstall-1.6.0.msi").VersionInfo.FileVersion
if($latestversion -gt $currentversion) { write-host "Install a new version" }
```
Unfortunately, `dotnet-core-uninstall-1.6.0.msi` lacks this information:
```
(Get-ItemProperty "C:\Program Files (x86)\dotnet-core-uninstall\dotnet-core-uninstall.exe").VersionInfo.FileVersion
1.5.5.5402
(Get-ItemProperty "C:\Users\Downloads\dotnet-core-uninstall-1.6.0.msi").VersionInfo.FileVersion
VersionInfo : File: C:\Program Files (x86)\dotnet-core-uninstall\dotnet-core-uninstall.exe
InternalName: dotnet-core-uninstall.dll
OriginalFilename: dotnet-core-uninstall.dll
FileVersion: 1.5.5.5402
VersionInfo : File: C:\Users\Downloads\dotnet-core-uninstall-1.6.0.msi
InternalName:
OriginalFilename:
FileVersion:
```
