Would it be easier to do it without regex? The following is untested
but I would probably do it more like this:

TOKEN = 'FILEVERSION '
for line in file:
  if line.startswith(TOKEN):
    version = line[len(TOKEN):]
    maj, min, rev, other = version.split(',')
    break # if there's only one occurance, otherwise do stuff here
