Hi all.

We need to detect from our java application if .NET is installed on the box=
 where the application is running, and if it is - what version.

We could read the registry keys (I guess).
We could also scan the c:\windows\microsoft.net\framework.

I don't like those - I'm looking for something more reliable and simple, fo=
r example using a 3rd party library that would do it for me.

Any ideas?

Thank you,
