How to Check .net framework version installed

Method   1:

1.)   Under   HKLM/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/.NETFramework/policy/   check   to   see   if   the   version   you   want   is   installed   (for   example,   look   for   the   v1.1   folder   and   4322   for   the   version   number   to   detect   the   released   version   of   V1.1)

2.)   Under   HKLM/Software/Microsoft/.NETFramework/InstallRoot   get   the   path   where   the   Framework   is   installed.   Create   a   directory   string   by   concatenating   the   install   root   and   the   version   under   policy.   E.g.   "C:/WINDOWS/Microsoft.NET/Framework/ "   +   "v1.1 "   +   ". "   +   "4322 "

3.)   Look   at   the   directory,   if   mscorlib.dll   (or   another   critical   .dll   to   the   .NET   framework   is   there)   the   runtime   is   installed.

 

Method   2:  

There 's   a   caveat   to   this   method   in   that   the   shim   gets   left   behind   when   we   uninstall   if   there   is   more   than   one   version   of   the   CLR   on   the   machine,   but   it   still   can   be   useful   depending   on   what   version   you 're   looking   for:

LoadLibrary(“mscoree.dll“);   -   if   this   fails   then   there 's   no   runtime   installed

GetProcAddress(“CorBindToRuntime“);   -   if   this   fails   there 's   no   runtime   installed

CorBindToRuntime(“GetRequestedRuntimeInfo“);  

GetRequestedRuntimeInfo(xxxx);   where   xxxx   is   the   build   number.
