.NET Forum / .NET Framework / CLR / June 2004mscoree.dll and GetFileVersionInfo
Is it safe if I want to check mscoree.dll version to determine .NET runtime version? So far they correspond. I know about GetCORVersion. But I would like to know the answer to my question. Thanks a lot >Is it safe if I want to check mscoree.dll version to determine .NET runtime >version? Which runtime version? Keep in mind that you can have multiple versions installed, but only one Mscoree.dll. If you want the version of the currently loaded runtime from managed code, the easiest way is to check System.Environment.Version.

Unless you do custom CLR hosting and specify version, isn't it safe to assume that whatever mscoree.dll version is, that will be the version loaded into process? > >Is it safe if I want to check mscoree.dll version to determine .NET runtime > >version?

No. Since I have preview versions of v2.0 of the framework installed, my Mscoree.dll is v2.0. But my applications compiled against v1.1 still runs under that version of the framework. In addition, it was said at the PDC last year that Microsoft may in the future have reasons to make available a small shim version of Mscoree.dll that is redistributable without the framework. So the fact that Mscoree.dll is available may not always mean that the framework is installed at all.
