All available versions from 2 forward should show up.

<div>
The below link will show you what version of .NET you have installed currently. No downloads are needed for this check. Its found in the registry.<br />

Hi Experts,<br />
@John,<br />
Did not find this download at first page.<br />
the link I followed had many downloads.<br />
Can you post exact link for that tool?<br />
<br />
@Timgreen,<br />
I need this to run on each users pc, while regedit is only avail if they're logged as admin.<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

This page <a href="https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/astebner/2008/10/13/net-framework-setup-verification-tool-users-guide/" rel="ugc">https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/astebner/2008/10/13/net-framework-setup-verification-tool-users-guide/</a>&nbsp;has a link to the 'new' version that checks up to .NET Framework 4.7.1 . &nbsp;Although there is a command line to 'run all tests' is listed, it seems like you have select them one at a time.

<div>
On the page I posted, under download, get <br />

<br />
I am not sure if this tool runs as non-Admin. It does not ask for UAC OK so it should work on any machine.

<div>
&gt;&gt;&gt; Would prefer a vba function..<br />
<br />
One method is to list the subfolders in the .Net Framework folder, which are named according to version number. &nbsp;You can modify this to return only the latest version if you want:<br />

<pre><code class="code-10 nolinks" id="code-20-42526889-1"><span>Sub GetDotNetVersions()</span>
<span>    Dim oFolder As Object</span>
<span>    Dim fs As Object</span>
<span>    Dim oSubFolder As Object</span>
<span>    </span>
<span>    Set fs = CreateObject(&quot;Scripting.FileSystemObject&quot;)</span>
<span>    Set oFolder = fs.getFolder(&quot;C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework&quot;)</span>
<span>    </span>
<span>    For Each oSubFolder In oFolder.subfolders</span>
<span>        Debug.Print oSubFolder.Name</span>
<span>    Next</span>
<span>End Sub</span>
</code></pre>
<br />
Another (more accurate) method is to check registry keys for the various flavors of .net to determine their presence, and the specific version number. &nbsp; The downside to this approach is that you have to know and update the list with the registry keys for the different versions (I don't think you can do this 'generically' for .Net versions earlier than 4.0). &nbsp;This code (Sub DotNetVersion) will list the versions... . &nbsp;<br />
<br />

<pre><code class="code-10 nolinks" id="code-20-42526889-2"><span>' This calls function GetDotNetVersionInstalled, and lists the versions.</span>
<span>Sub DotNetVersion()</span>
<span>   Dim sKey(7) As String</span>
<span>   Dim i As Integer</span>
<span>   Dim s As String</span>
<span>   </span>
<span>   ' These are the registry keys- update as needed.</span>
<span>   sKey(0) = &quot;HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components\{78705f0d-e8db-4b2d-8193-982bdda15ecd}\Version&quot;</span>
<span>   sKey(1) = &quot;HKLM\Software\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v1.1.4322&quot;</span>
<span>   sKey(2) = &quot;HKLM\Software\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v2.0.50727\Version&quot;</span>
<span>   sKey(3) = &quot;HKLM\Software\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v3.0\Version&quot;</span>
<span>   sKey(4) = &quot;HKLM\Software\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v3.5\Version&quot;</span>
<span>   sKey(5) = &quot;HKLM\Software\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Client\Version&quot;</span>
<span>   sKey(6) = &quot;HKLM\Software\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Full\Version&quot;</span>
<span>   For i = 0 To 6</span>
<span>       s = GetDotNetVersionInstalled(sKey(i))</span>
<span>       If s &lt;&gt; &quot;&quot; Then Debug.Print sKey(i) &amp; &quot;: &quot; &amp; s</span>
<span>   Next</span>
<span>End Sub</span>
<span></span>
<span>' This uses Windows Scripting to read the registry for exact version for the </span>
<span>Function GetDotNetVersionInstalled(sKey As String) As String</span>
<span>    GetDotNetVersionInstalled = &quot;&quot;</span>
<span>    Dim WS As Object</span>
<span>    On Error GoTo PROC_ERR</span>
<span>    GetDotNetVersionInstalled = &quot;&quot;</span>
<span>    </span>
<span>    Set WS = CreateObject(&quot;WScript.Shell&quot;)</span>
<span></span>
<span>    GetDotNetVersionInstalled = WS.RegRead(sKey)</span>
<span>PROC_EXIT:</span>
<span>    Exit Function</span>
<span>PROC_ERR:</span>
<span>    GetDotNetVersionInstalled = &quot;Not Installed&quot;</span>
<span>    Exit Function</span>
<span>End Function</span>
</code></pre>
<br />
Call it like this:<br />
<br />

<pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-42526889-3"><span>DotNetVersion</span>
</code></pre>
</div>


<div>
Agree with <a href="#a42526889" rel="ugc">#a42526889</a><br />
<br />
I would change the first function to only look for folders that start with v<br />
For the second I would include HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWAR<wbr />E\WOW6432N<wbr />ode
</div>


<div>
Hi Experts,<br />
<br />
Basically I need this for a software that requires the following<br />
<b>&quot;3. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Please ensure your computer is running .NET framework 4.5 or higher.&quot;</b><br />
When tried that tool suggested by John/Dave I get all successful up to 4.7.., while when I run the code from mbizup I get either v4.0.30319 or HKLM\Software\Microsoft\NE<wbr />T Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Client\Versio<wbr />n: 4.7.02558<br />
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\NE<wbr />T Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Full\Version:<wbr /> 4.7.02558<br />
So does that mean I'm not fully setup?<br />
<br />
BTW, for installing .net 4.5 is this something I can just download and run? &nbsp;any side affects?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />
Ben
</div>


<div>
Most systems use Programs and Features, Windows Features to install .NET and I have found this best even though it means touching the machines. We set this up at initial installation
</div>


<div>
Hi John,<br />
Are you saying that this must be setup at initial installation?<br />
What are my options now?<br />
Thanks,<br />
Ben
</div>


bfuchs

<div>
Also look in Programs and Features, Windows Features. &nbsp;Was .NET ever initialized on any machine?
</div>


<div>
<blockquote>

I see it there 4.7 (see attached)<br />
So is this the right way to check up?<br />
Thanks,<br />

<div>
Look in Windows Features (left side of your screen shot) Open Windows Features and see if all .NET are checked. <br />
<br />
If they are all checked (enabled). use .NET Framework Setup Verifier to check and verify all versions.
</div>


<div>
Under windows features I only see .net 3.5 and nothing is selected. (see attached)<br />
So I'm confused, why do I first saw 4.7 listed?<br />
And what version do I actually have running?<br />
This sounds like a complicate thing to figure out-:(<br />
Why cant it be like any program or operating system that you get to see just by right clicking on my computer icon?!<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

<blockquote>
What you see for .NET 3.5 is fine...At that point, Windows Updates will look after it and keep it up to date.
</blockquote>
So you're saying that if I see .net 3.5 under windows features on windows 7 pc's (which most of our users have), and windows updates are up to date, that means we are good to go with that software mentioned above, which requires .net 4.5 or higher running?<br />

Find out dot net version running

Kernel and system programming is the process of creating the software necessary for a computer or device to function and operate other programs. Some operating systems (such as Microsoft Windows) are proprietary, but others, such as the various Linux distributions, are open source.

System Programming

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

.NET Programming

Microsoft Access is a rapid application development (RAD) relational database tool. Access can be used for both desktop and web-based applications, and uses VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) as its coding language.

Microsoft Access

Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) enables building user-defined functions (UDFs), automating processes and accessing Windows API and other low-level functionality through dynamic-link libraries (DLLs). VBA is closely related to Visual Basic and uses the Visual Basic Runtime Library, but it can normally only run code within a host application rather than as a standalone program. It can, however, be used to control one application from another via OLE Automation. VBA is built into most Microsoft Office applications.

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.
