Today I was asked how I could verify .NET 3.5 SP1 installed successfully on several PCs running Windows XP Professional. I searched the Internet and found several answers:
- Check Add Remove Programs under Control Panel
- Open Internet Explorer and enter this Javacript in the url bar: javascript:alert(navigator.userAgent)
- Open the registry and look for this key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\User Agent\Post Platform\.NET CLR 3.5.30729
- Finally click on Start => Run and enter C:\Windows\Microsoft.Net\Framework\v3.5. You should see a folder called Microsoft Framework 3.5 SP1
Thanks to Walker News for the information.
