Determine if .net is installed then do something about it.

[Jon Turlington]

I have written a vbs file to take care of this but I didn't know that
an autorun.inf could not use a vbs file. So I feel like I am caught
between a rock and a hard place.

Can anyone point me in the direction of how a free compiler for another
language that does not require .net to be installed so I can have a
valid Win32 application for the AutoRun to use. Just looking for a way
to create an exe that does this:

-------------------------------------------------------------------

DIM ReturnValue
DIM RegKeyValue1
DIM RegKeyValue1Dot1
DIM objShell
ReturnValue = FALSE
set objShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
ON ERROR RESUME NEXT
RegKeyValue1 = objShell.RegRead
("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramew ork\policy\v1.0\3705")
RegKeyValue1Dot1 = objShell.RegRead
("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramew ork\policy\v1.1\4322")

If RegKeyValue1 <> "" then
ReturnValue = TRUE
Else
ReturnValue = FALSE
End If
If RegKeyValue1Dot1 <> "" then
ReturnValue = TRUE
Else
ReturnValue = FALSE
End If
If ReturnValue = FALSE then
MSGBox
objShell.Run "dotnetfx.exe"
Else
MSGBox(".Net Framework is installed and we will now install the NDemand
software.")
objShell.Run """Company Installation.exe"""
End If

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The name of the installation is not "Company Installation.exe" I just
changed it in case one of our customers does a search we really don't
want them to find this because it has our company name in the file
name.

Thanks in advance.
