Availabilty of .NET framework

[Curious]

Hi,

I wrote a small application that I am to distribute to my friends for
using it. Before executing the application, I require to check if they
have the .NET framework installed on their PC.

What could command, or what should I tell them to check before trying
to use the application.


Thanks in Advance

Hi,

If you include an installer with it you can check if the framework is
installed or install it if not. There is doc about how to do this in msdn.

Otherwise, if you just publish the .EXE the user will receive an error when
running it.

Hello Curious,

Checking registry is the way to be sure if .NET FW is installed
