Get full list of .NET framework version installed

Question

I need to get the list of all framework versions that are installed in the computer, buy I need the full name, as it is in the Add/Remove programs. Like: "Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1" or "Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 2"

is there any way to get that list (in Windows XP and 7)?

Just run the .NET redistributable from your setup by marking it as a prerequisite, please don't mess with .NET installations yourself ... anyway, what have you tried? Look at [this duplicate](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/951856/is-there-an-easy-way-to-check-net-framework-version-using-c). — CodeCaster, Apr 10 '13 at 11:07

You can get the framework versions including their names from the Windows Registery

See these links for reference:

Thank, I use those links to get my answer, this was waht I did:

        string path = @"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP";
        List<string> display_framwork_name = new List<string>();

        RegistryKey installed_versions = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(path);
        string[] version_names = installed_versions.GetSubKeyNames();

        for (int i = 1; i <= version_names.Length - 1; i++)
        {
            string temp_name = "Microsoft .NET Framework " + version_names[i].ToString() + "  SP" + installed_versions.OpenSubKey(version_names[i]).GetValue("SP");
            display_framwork_name.Add(temp_name);
        }

        return display_framwork_name;

So my output was: "Microsoft .NET Framework v3.5 SP1" "Microsoft .NET Framework v3.0 SP2" and so on....
