I am a newbie to .Net environment. I am writing a small network program in
C#. How can I make sure that the end user machine has .Net framework?
Because if it doesn't my program probably won't even run.

Thanks
Kumar

If you mean, can your program detect whether the framework is installed,
then you would need to have a "bootstrap" program written for Win32 without
..NET that checks for the framework and then launches your real .NET program.

Otherwise your .NET only program would not even run to check for the
framework, because the framework isn't there.

I suppose the ultimate check is, if it doesn't run, the framework isn't
installed :-))

The NET runtime installs a registry key, you can check it.

For example,
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\policy\v1.1

for version 1.1.

Indeed. One simple solution is to write a console app that does
nothing but return a non-zero result code. If you can run this, and
get the right result, the framework is installed.

This seems (to me) to be simpler than looking for the right registry
key.
