Whats the recommended way for checking if a certain .NET runtime has
been installed on a computer?

Checking if for instance C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727
exists ? or ?

You don't specify if you want to check it manually, programmatically
or for example in a setup project. So I suggest you start here

and be sure to follow the reference to Aaron Stebner's blog if you
want to do the checks in code.
