wwUtils::IsDotNet

Returns whether .Net is installed. Also can return the latest installed version and directory of the .Net framework. 

o.IsDotNet(@lcVersion,@lcPath)

Return Value

.T. or .F.

Parameters

@lcVersion
Pass in by reference to receive the version value.

@lcPath
Pass in by reference to receive the path of the .Net framework.

Remarks

Checks HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\ASP.Net and the RootVersion key. Note that you must have admin rights to read this key. Another alternative where this is a problem is to look in the Windows dir and check directories for the latest version which is a lot more messy and slower.

Example

*** Is .NET installed? (any version)
? IsDotNet()

*** Retrieve latest version and path
lcFrameworkPath = ""
lcVersion = ""
? IsDotNet(@lcFrameworkPath,@lcVersion)
? lcFrameworkPath
? lcVersion
