HI

I have a requirement to check for .net 2 framework on ym app running as well
as checking if a particular directx version is intalled, can anyone give any
tips or pointers where i could find a code snippet in c# to do this?

Thans in advance

I use click once for deployment. And though you need .net 2 apparently to
download an app using click once i have found users able to use click once
download even though they don't have .net 2.

Also adding the pre-requisite of .net 2 doesn't seem to work through click
once either.

So i need another check made when my app runs for .net 2 and for directx 9.
Any tips on how to programatically do the check yourself? c#.

Doesn't apply if the main loading part of your app doesn't use .net 2. So in
that opening part i can do a check before .net 2 is required (where it will
throw a missing module exception). To be honest i have had untold problems
with .net 2, problems out of my control like it not installing properly on
clients, some clients running the app fine even tho it says they dont have
..net 2 and so on. All very strange
