How To Determine the .NET Framework Installed Versions

This topic is a how to.
Please keep it as clear and simple as possible. Avoid speculative discussions as well as a deep dive into underlying mechanisms or related technologies.

Introduction

You can install and run multiple versions of the .NET Framework on a computer and each version can be installed in any order.
Starting from Windows XP, the operating system comes with a .NET Framework version installed and ready for use; the user can install a more recent version to get all the advantages that comes with the newest class libraries and namespaces provided by the most recent versions of the .NET Framework.

The Microsoft.NET\Framework Folder

Each .NET Framework version can be installed side-by-side and each version's files will be installed into a subfolder of the Windows main directory, identified by the environment variable %WINDIR%. To see which versions are installed, look into the %WINDIR% directory for the Microsoft.NET\Framework folder (you should also view the Framework64directory if you're running a 64-bit operating system, which can have 32 or 64-bit versions installed or both): each version of the .NET Framework has a directory and the first two digits of the directory name identify the .NET Framework version; for example: v1.1.4322 for the .NET Framework 1.1, v2.0.50727 for the .NET Framework 2.0, v3.5 for the .NET Framework 3.5 and so on.

Registry Keys

The informations related to the .NET Framework installation (along with the informations regarding the status of the installed Service Packs) are stored in the Windows registry under theHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP key. Figure 2 depicts the registry keys for multiple .NET Framework version installed on a computer running Windows 7 Ultimate x64 Service Pack 1.

Figure 2: .NET Framework version specific registry keys.

Table 1 provides a list of the stored values according to each installed .NET Framework version.

Determining the .NET Framework Version by Code

The .NET Framework version can be determined by writing code that queries the Common Language Runtime (CLR) version by using the Version property of the System.Environment class, as in the following C# code snippet

using System;

class Sample
{
public static void Main()
{
Console.WriteLine();
Console.WriteLine("Version: {0}", Environment.Version.ToString());
}
}

If you compile this program with the .NET Framework 3.5, this property's value will be "2.0.50727.3603".

The CLRVER Tool

The CLR Version tool (Clrver.exe) reports all the installed versions of the Common Language Runtime (CLR) on the computer. This tool is automatically installed with Visual Studio and with the Windows SDK and it must be executed from the Visual Studio Command Prompt or the Windows SDK Command Prompt.
At the command prompt type the following

clrver [option]

where [option] can be -all to display all the managed processes and the version of the CLR they are using, -? to display command syntax and options for the tool or pid to display the version(s) of the CLR used by the process that has the specified process ID. Running the tool with no options displays all installed CLR versions.
