Doesn't work when the AssembilyInfo.cs file looks like x.y.z.*

We use a '*' for the 4th digit in our AssemblyInfo.cs file to let Visual Studio generate the 4th number. It looks like Assemby Info Reader is reading that text and trying to create a variable with a value of (in our case) 5.0.0.*, and not the generated version.

Is this expected behavior?
