detect .NET Framework 4.5.1/4.5.2

[Unregistered]

I'd like to suggest adding options for .NET 4.5.1 and 4.5.2 into the Get System Info(.NET Status) script function. Thanks

Hello,

The option is already there ;) I have developed a simple quick-and-dirty demo project for you:

Are those versions numbers the most reliable way to check? This MSDN link says to check a "Release" registry key:

Hello,

The version numbers come directly from the original MS redistributables (reverse engineered). Of course, you can develop your own detection mechanism if you want (e.g. based on the DWORD value of 'Release') no problem. But the official built-in method in SB is detection via the value returned in %_SB_RETURN%.

BTW, we can add an option to the next SB maintenance build to retrieve the "Release" value, too. It's just one more call to the registry from the runtime, so very easy to add. I found another Version value (not documented on MSDN) for Windows 8.1. So perhaps supporting both values can help in this case.

I have re-uploaded the .sb8 demo project. It can detect 4.5, 4.5.1 (including on Win81 now) and 4.5.2.

Hello,

We have added an option to retrieve the "Release" item. This will be available in the next SB maintenance build. But the result will be the same, it's just a different way to handle it.
