knowing the frame work is installed or not

[shavil]

Hi, I am writing a windows application and i want to write the code to know weather .net frame work is there or not and i want to know weather iis is installed or not. after executing my application i want to run on other system with the help of that exe file. please send any links or code how to know the framework is installed or not and iis is there or not.... the program should run on other also(where there will be no dot net) system with "Exe file". It should prompt the message that framework is not there

As far as I know this isn't possible with .NET (in vb6 it is but that's a dead language). You can however add a setup project wich will create a setup for you (.exe and .msi files) These will automaticly check for the framework and if its not there offer to download and install it.

i always resorted to checking the registry to see if IIS is installed, another method is to check the windows service list to see if W3SVC is installed and running
