When my C# program starts to run and dotnet is not installed, I get the message that mscoree.dll is not found, obviously because dotnet is not installed. Without resorting to an installation program, is there a way that my program can check if dotnet framework is installed and give a message to that effect? The latter will be on the distribution CD.

Are you using Setup and Deployment to create your release version?

Thkx for reply. Did not use Setup and Deploym, still getting around to learning how that works. Is that the only way to check that the Framework is installed?

using Setup and Deployment allows you to give the install "requirements". so if .Net is not installed, it will install it automatically.

That is the most typical way to check for the .NET framework during install.

How are you deploying your applications?
