How Many versions of the CLR can be installed on a computer ???
-
Hi, I'm wondering if any of you know what is the maximum number of .NET Framework CLR Runtimes that can be installed on a computer ? I'm writing an application, that loads a specific Runtime, and, the first function I wrote enumerates through the installed Runtimes, using the ICLRMetaHost, IEnumUnknown, and ICLRRuntimeInfo interfaces. This function works correctly (I have two installed runtimes on my computer). Thanks for any information.

As far as I'm aware:
- 1.0 and 1.1 were separate CLRs, but only came in 32-bit versions;
- 2.0 has both 32- and 64-bit versions;
- 3.0 and 3.5 used the same CLR as 2.0;
- 4.0 has both 32- and 64-bit versions;
- 4.5 and 4.6 are in-place upgrades to 4.0;
So depending on whether you count 32- and 64-bit CLRs separately, the answer is either 4 or 6 (at the moment). Of course, if Microsoft ever decide to release a new version of the framework that isn't an in-place upgrade to 4.0, the answer will change. :)

Why would there be a maximum?

Dave KreskowiakRichard Deeming and Dave Kreskowiak, Hey, thanks for the information. Yeah, I should have mentioned either 32-bit or 64-bit versions (my app is a 32-bit version running on WOW64). More than anything, I'm just curious,...
