I used something very similar and added this to my common iss file:
#define GetShortFileVersion(str FileName) \
   ParseVersion(FileName, Local[0], Local[1], Local[2], Local[3]), \
   Str(Local[0]) + "." + Str(Local[1])

I then use this in exactly the same way as GetFileVersion: AppVerName=i-Catcher Console {#GetShortFileVersion("..\Console.exe")}
