Make VS 2022 VERSIONINFO is not incremented

[mgampi]

Hi;
I'm using one single "Make VS2022" step to rebuild a solution.
I have set "Increment the target version if...", but it's never incremented.
The .rc file of the included projects (in the solution) contain either only one VERSIONINFO or several ones for each language we support.
The .rc files are checked out from the repositories before the rebuild step starts.

Here is the content of one such .rc file:

        END
    END
    BLOCK "VarFileInfo"
    BEGIN

    END
END

What can be the reason for this error and how can I solve it?

Thanks in advance
