How can I know if I have installed .net framework 2.0 or not by C#?

Real Coder

I need a source which can check whether I have installed .Net framework 2.0 or not. Thanks.

Nothing!! But gonzo!!

You need to create a precondition in your setup project that checks to see if your version of the .net framework is installed. Your software won't install unless your precondition has been met. You don't need to write any code for this, it is the right way to do what you are talking about. It is a very, very easy and common task.

You can write C++ code to do this, but not C#, for obvious reasons.

You may have to explain this one to him. If he posted a question like this, it's apparent that he doesn't have the knowledge to understand the blindingly obvious.

Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.

Have you tried looking on Google or CP? There is at least one article[^] here that explains how to do this, and also gives you a reference to some C++ code that you will need to use if you are trying to do this from an installer.
