RE: Programmatically determine if .NET 3.0 is installed

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Hi Roger,

Do you mean that you want to build your program against .NET Framework 2.0
but want to dynamically detect and load an assembly from .NET Framework
3.0? How will you use the System.Drawing.Image? Using reflection?

You can use registry to determine if .NET Framework 3.0 is installed or not:
