Microsoft .NET Framework

[cap808]

It would be AWESOME to have a MS .NET Framework 1.1 (latest) runtime module. As more and more applications are written for / using .NET, this would help greatly...

Thank you for your suggestion, it's currently in our database for future consideration.

How about a way to detect if the runtime is installed already and send the user to a page to download it if it is not? I have been asking Microsoft for the registry entries to check, but no response yet... I think that would be better, because of the 23MB size of the runtime I know I don't want to have to email it to someone!

I came across some information at the following link about how to detect if the .NET Framework is installed:

In that article it explains that a Registry key that can be read is:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\policy\v1.0

Hope that helps.

I use

function IsDotNetInstalled()

local v10 = Registry.DoesKeyExist(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\policy\v1.0" );
local v11 = Registry.DoesKeyExist(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\policy\v1.1" );
local v20 = Registry.DoesKeyExist(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\policy\v2.0" );

if (v20 == true ) then

result = "2.0";

elseif (v11 == true) then

result = "1.1";

elseif (v10 == true) then

result = "1.0";

else

result = "none";

end
return result;

end
