Hi All,

I'm trying to see if .Net 4.6.1 or higher is already installed but I'm having issues with this.  I origanlly would query the uninstall path in the registry but then any .Net updates would show so that won't work so I guess the next step would be to try and look for the exe file paths. 

Here i'm trying to see if .Net 4.6.1 or higher is installed but it's not working. 

#RequireAdmin
#include <FileConstants.au3>
#include <Array.au3>
#include <File.au3>

If @OSArch = "X64" Then
    $DotNetPath = "C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\"
Else
    $DotNetPath = "C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\"
EndIf

$FolderList = _FileListToArray($DotNetPath, "*", 2)

_ArrayDisplay($FolderList)


For $i = 1 To UBound($FolderList) - 1
    $NewList = StringTrimLeft($FolderList[$i], 1) ;<--- Removes the "v" at the beginning of the string
    ConsoleWrite("Is " & $NewList & " greater than 4" & @CRLF)
    If $NewList > "4" Then
        $FolderList2 = _FileListToArray($DotNetPath & "\" & $FolderList[$i] & "\SetupCache", "*", 2)
        _ArrayDisplay($FolderList2)
    Else
        MsgBox(0, "", "no .net 4.0 found")
        Exit
    EndIf

Next

I can tell you that InstallShield prerequisites use the uninstall registry key. I have no idea what you mean when you say all updates would show? after installing I find the following: That GUID, if you find it (GLOBAL UNIQUE IDENTIFIER so no others will be this one, update or not) {BD6F5371-DAC1-30F0-9DDE-CAC6791E28C3}

I typically let these kinds of tasks fall to WMI: 

Local $oWMI = ObjGet("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\.\root\cimv2")
Local $oItems = $oWMI.ExecQuery("Select * FROM Win32_Product Where name like '%%.NET%%'")

    For $sItem In $oItems
        ConsoleWrite($sItem.Version & @CRLF)
    Next

One more thing, in your code, you assume windows installed to C:\

Well, hate to tell you this, but it can be installed to any fixed drive so your code will fail there on a non-standard installation. You should look that up the system drive.

 

if you find the key  {BD6F5371-DAC1-30F0-9DDE-CAC6791E28C3} under the uninstall folders, you know you got 4.6.1 installed or later versions of 4.6, new versions will have their own GUID

 

A simple RegRead at the uninstall key would give you what you are looking for.

@Earthshine

I mean if I query the uninstall path in the registry and look for "microsoft .net framework" that it will also show me any .net updates that have been installed.  I usually query the uninstall path for programs that typically do not receive updates.

@Earthshine Thanks however in my environment all of our workstations have Windows installed on C:\.

No, look for that GUID key under the uninstall key. You could even look up Display Name.

$variable = RegRead (' HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{BD6F5371-DAC1-30F0-9DDE-CAC6791E28C3} ', 'DisplayName')

If (StringLen($variable) > 0) Then

  Do something

EndIf

is all you need.

WMI has dependencies that are not always installed. the posted WMI code above does nothing on any of my VMs or machines. I always steer clear of that. Too cryptic as well.

The coding in itself is incorrect

Check stripws function

Check stringleft function after you stripped the whitespace

Check on if stringleft of first 2 chars equals v4

And ms has more doc on this then coding you need

So, someone here wrote RegSearch

I wrote a test to see how easy it is to enumerate through the reg and find what you want. this finds all strings of .NET Framework 4.whatever.this finds all strings of .NET Framework 4.whatever.

RegSearch can be obtained here, get the latest version

log4a here:

#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
#include "log4a.au3"
#include "RegSearch.au3"

#Region ;**** Logging ****
; Enable logging and don't write to stderr
_log4a_SetEnable()
; Write to stderr, set min level to warn, customize message format
_log4a_SetErrorStream()
_log4a_SetMinLevel($LOG4A_LEVEL_INFO)
; If @compiled Then _log4a_SetMinLevel($LOG4A_LEVEL_WARN) ; Change the min level if the script is compiled
_log4a_SetFormat("${date} | ${host} | ${level} | ${message}")
#EndRegion ;**** Logging ****

Local $var = _RegSearch('HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall', '.NET Framework 4.')
_log4a_Info($var)
