How to check if the .NET is installed

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

I have a machine where I do not have administrative rights (including local) and I want to run an application to be developed in c#.
The OS is Windows 7.

I would like to check if the application would run on it, that means if the .NET environment is installed.

I can not see any directories that could give me a clue.

Any help will be welcome.

Thank you in advance.

David

PS: I would like to find something easier than developing and running the application and see what happens.

This System Registry key lists the Frameworks that have been installed:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP

The Frameworks are stored in C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET.

See MSDN: How to: Determine Which .NET Framework Versions Are Installed

Thank you, with without local rights I cannot see the register.

You can't write a .net application to check if .net is installed.

You will have to write it in something other than .net

Thank you, but I could try, and if it does not work, means that I do not have .net installed.

Solution 1

you can check it in My Computer -> Program And Feature. search for "Microsoft .Net Framework 3.5".
And to develop an application and installation you need rights by admin.

I have found it in another forum:
in cmd:

dir /b /ad /o-n %systemroot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v?.*
