Hello Sanjeev

There are many constraints to determine programatically if .NET Framework is installed or not.

One link is if Windows version is Vista then .NET Framework will be available

Further for Windows version other than Vista, with the help of ASP.NET Web application You can determing if .NET Framework is installed or not by making use of Request.Browser.GetClrVersions();

Basically If .NET Framework is installed, the version information will be reflected in Microsoft Internet Explorer.

Obviously, for this to work the system on which you are going to check should have IE
