With a batch file I do not think this is possible without some other third party utility, however you can accomplish this with vbscript like 
 
Set objFSO = CreateObject(&quot;Scripting.FileSystemObject&quot;) 
Wscript.Echo objFSO.GetFileVersion(&quot;c:\windows\system32\notepad.exe&quot;)

I want to replace a file tswpfwrp.exe in Windows\System32 folder if it is an older version then the one I am replacing it with, otherwise, I don't want the batch file to run. 
 
Below is an example of what I am trying to achieve, however, I don't know much about batchfile creation so the below example is not functional. Please help me create an effective batch file: 
 
IF EXIST &quot;C:\WINDOWS\system32\tswpfwrp.exe VER 3.0.6920.1201&quot; goto lable1

Batch files are text files containing a script of commands that are executed by the command interpreter on DOS, OS/2 and Windows systems. Most commonly, they are used to perform a series of functions that are repeated -- copying a set of files created daily with one step, for example.

Windows Batch

.NET application servers, a Windows Server role in an application role, includes Internet Information Services (IIS) to provide web server support, the .NET Framework to provide application support, ASP.NET to provide server side scripting, COM+ for application component communication, Message Queuing for multithreaded processing, and the Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) for application communication. There are also third party server systems that provide .NET support, including Mono, Base4, TNAPS and cc Devnet Data Access Server.
