.NET Forum / .NET Framework / New Users / August 2005Determining Framework Version
Hi All, I need to determine the version(s) of the dotnet framework that is(are) currently installed on the target PC. Here's the caveat.... I won't be able to use dot net code to do this. It'll have to be under C/C++. What's the best/most preferred technique for determining this? Should I locate the C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework folder and then enum through the version numbered folders and check the version of mscorlib.dll? Or is there a more straightforward approach such as some registry setting that can be easily read? TIA,  SignatureJohn Bowman Verona, WI 18lunkers@charter.net You are on the right track. If you can hit the Windows alias %WINDIR% rather than C:\Windows, that would be better, as it will work on machines that are installed in some config other than the standard. SignatureGregory A.

If that was the recommended approach, then I was planning on using the real windows dir instead of C:\Windows to locate it. I was just hoping there was a more direct/simpler mechanism that could have been used (: . John > You are on the right track.
