Net-version

Various applications require specific versions of .NET Framework to be available on your computer, and it is sometimes difficult to remember which of them have already been installed, especially when using multiple PCs.

Net-version is a tiny command-line program that can help you out, as it enables you to quickly check which versions of .NET framework are installed on your computer.

Even though this app checks for .NET Framework, this software does not need to be installed on your PC for the utility to perform the verification. If you can open the command console, this program can be run without any issues.

Since Net-version comes in the form of a single executable file, you do not need to go through an installation process, and the application can be run from anywhere, even portable drives.

Once you have downloaded the utility, you just need to bring up the command console and run the EXE file. Of course, you should make sure you choose the right one for your OS type.

Net-version relies on guidelines outlined by Microsoft to identify which versions of .NET Framework are installed, and it displays all of them in a simple list. Older .NET versions (4.0 and below) are displayed first, while the newest version is listed separately, along with additional details about its installation.

Naturally, this program is perhaps not the best choice for very inexperienced users, although running it simple enough. A GUI would have made things more intuitive, but you can still perform the check without too much effort.

Overall, Net-version is a simple but useful piece of software that can help you find which versions of .NET Framework are installed on your machine. It is exceedingly easy to use, provided you are fine with firing up the command console.
