Checking your .NET Version can sometimes be confusing and frustrating. You can have something listed in Programs and Features or Server Features, but this may not reflect the latest version of .NET currently installed. The best way to check which version of .NET you have installed is via the Registry.

 

 

 

 


  • First, open the Registry by clicking the Start menu and typing in Regedit. This is the Registry Editor tool.
  • Next, navigate to the following Key KHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftNET Framework SetupNDP]

    • Note this is not .NET, but NET Framework Setup
    • If you are on .NET 4.5 or later, navigate to v4Full

  • Click on this Key and note the Release property. This will have a number in Parenthesis like (393295). This is the KB for the .NET version you have. Make note of this value.
  • See this Microsoft KB article to compare your KB Number noted above to which .NET version. In my example the 393295 corresponds to .NET 4.6. 

     

 

 

There are more details in the KB article about older versions of .NET, but this should at least pont you in the right direction if your K2 Server is not starting.

 

Thanks MTMTNT,


 


If you dont have the necessary rights to view the registry there are 2 other ways:


 


1. Using Windows Explorer:


All Microsoft .NET Framework versions are installed in following directory:


%windir%Microsoft.NETFramework


 


So just type the above mentioned path in RUN dialog box or in Windows Explorer addressbar and press Enter. Here in this folder, you can find out which versions are installed, by checking the folder names.


 


2. Using Command Prompt:


 


Open Command Prompt from Start Menu and execute any of following commands:


 


wmic /namespace:

ootcimv2 path win32_product where "name like '%%.NET%%'" get version


dir %windir%Microsoft.NETFramework /AD


 


Cheers


Jean
