NSIS manual E.1.8 GetFileVersion:

Get version information from executable file.
Syntax:

${GetFileVersion} "[Executable]" $var
"[Executable]" ; Executable file (*.exe *.dll ...)
$var ; Result: Version number
Note:
- Error flag if file doesn't exist
- Error flag if file doesn't contain version information

Example:

Section
${GetFileVersion} "C:\ftp\program.exe" $R0
; $R0="1.1.0.12"
SectionEnd

If you wish to put the version from that executable into your NSIS installer, you need to create another installer which does it for you.

This page does exactly that:
