test for .net 2.0

Hi All,
I am just wondering if there is test to check if the .net2.0 framework is
installed on a machine?

As a quick'n'dirty test while developing, I am just checking if the folder
'C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727' is present, but that won't
do for production code.

Any advice is very welcome.

Thanks in advance,
Craig

Sorry, I guess I should have been a little more specific. I am not doing
this through a .net installer. The main application, which includes the
installer, is Microsoft Great Plains and the language it uses is Dynamics.

So I have to test for .net2.0 from within Dynamics before I deploy the dlls
and use regasm to register them.

Hello Craig,

The way to check the installed version is either with Windows directory or
with registry (keys was described in article)

You can probably read it from this string:

Dim MyType As Type = Type.GetType("System.AppDomain")
Response.Write(MyType.Assembly.FullName & "<br />")

Hello Ken Cox - Microsoft MVP,

Hmm, interesting. but it returns only major version
for .NET 2.0 it returns 2.0.0.0 and for 1.1 returns 1.0.5000

Any ideas why is it so?

Hi Craig,

I'm a bit of a "newbie" at using this 2.0 framework so I apologize in
advance if my comment seems a bit naive. I thought that the ASPNET_REGIIS
tool could be used to reveal all ASP.NET versions on any given machine.

Rock 'N Roll,
Paul
