Hi,

When I load my app, I need it to make sure all of the components it requires are installed and ready to use, this way you won't get some cryptic message that the user won't understand...instead I'll be able to tell the user how to fix the problem...XXXXX vX.X is missin, please re-install bah bah bah.

Thanks in advancem,
Kieron
 
There is no way of checking to see if the .NET Framework is installed short of hex editing your application after its built. Even then, I'm unsure as to the results.
 
When you create an installer for your application using the VS.NET deployment project type, it will refuse to install unless the framework is there, which is a good start.
