    I've been trying to install the Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator on Windows 8.1, but eventually there is always a message stating I need the latest .NET framework. The newest version is, however, installed on my system, but nothing can convince the installer of that. Any suggestions how to solve this, or which other programme I could use to create a custom keyboard layout? Thank you much in advance!

    windows - Quickest way to find the latest installed version of the .NET framework?
  • Mal Ross

    I always forget what version(s) of the .NET framework (and their service packs) I've got installed. Whenever I need to find out, I end up trawling through a long list of updates performed by Windows Update, or, failing that, looking in Add/Remove Programs. There must be a quicker way...

    Thanks.

    Scott Hanselman created a nice webpage which tells you which .NET Framework is installed and which one to download if it's not the current one.

    From Microsoft:

    How to determine which versions of the .NET Framework are installed To determine which versions of the .NET Framework are installed, locate the %systemroot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework folder. To open this folder, you can paste this address into a Windows Explorer address bar. The following folders contain the released versions of the .NET Framework:

    • v3.5
    • v3.0
    • v2.0.50727
    • v1.1.4322
    • v1.0.3705

    ...

    To determine which versions of the .NET Framework are installed on a computer, follow these steps:

    • Open any one of the folders in the previous list.
    • Right-click the Mscorlib.dll file, and then click Properties.
    • Click the Version tab, and then note the file version.
    • Use the previous list to determine which version of the .NET Framework is installed on the computer, and then click OK.
    • Repeat these steps for each version of the .NET Framework on the computer.

    My favorite tool for detecting installed .NET versions is ASoft .NET Version Detector. It tells you all versions currently installed, including service packs and the "Client Profile" version. Nothing to install, just an executable.
