howdy y'all,

saw a thread about getting the dotnet version info a bit ago. munging around in the registry seems convoluted at best. then i remembered reading about the DotNetFrameworkVersion in a module manifest file.

How to Write a PowerShell Module Manifest
- https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd878337(v=vs.85).aspx

Example: DotNetFrameworkVersion = '3.5'

[actually, the above is missing the w on that page. [grin]]

that makes me think that PoSh has a builtin method to get that info.

does it?

take care,
lee

answer - based on what fourierswager & SeeminglyScience posted, it appears to use an undocumented method. meaning it likely digs in the registry like every one else. [grin]
