Determince 'Service Pack 1' is applied for VS.NET

[raghunathmnayak]

Hi,

How to determine 'Service Pack 1' is applied for VS.NET 2002 and
VS.NET 2003, preferably from registry?

I know that,
If HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\7.0 is available, VS.NET 2002
should be installed.
If HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\7.1 is available, VS.NET 2003
should be installed.
If both are installed, you might want to pop up a dialog where the
user can chose one of them.

Kindly provide some information.

Emmm,

what's the reason of detecting SP1 for VS 2003?

Visual Studio .NET 2003 SP1 is registered as KB918007 so you could check the
following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\Visu al Studio\7.1\S918007\

If you have the above key you have propably installed the SP1 but better
would be to even check the DWORD value "Installed" which value will be 1 if
SP1 is installed.
