Hi bonk!

How can I test in a culture- and operating system independent way if the
..NET Framework is installed (and in a certain version) on the target
machine using vc++ 6 ?

By reading the registry.

..NET Framework 1.0:
Path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramewor k\policy\v1.0
Key: 3705
Value (string): 3321-3705

..NET Framework 1.1:
Path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramewor k\policy\v1.1
Key: 4322
Value (string): 3706-4322

..NET Framework 2.0:
Path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramewor k\policy\v1.1
Key: 50727
Value (string): 50727-50727

..NET Framework 2.0:
Path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramewor k\policy\v1.1

Should be
Path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramewor k\policy\v2.0

For version 2.0 how do I differentiate the different beta/ctp versions ?

Hi bonk!

..NET Framework 2.0:
Path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramewor k\policy\v1.1

Should be
Path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramewor k\policy\v2.0

For version 2.0 how do I differentiate the different beta/ctp versions ?

Is it not enough to differentiate between RTM and pre-RTM?
