Checking for .NET Framework

[farklem]

Ok, I am developing an app which doesn't have an installer. My biggest problem is that alot of people don't have .NET Framework and as you know, running an app when .NET isn't installed doesn't give a verry user friendly message. Basicly I am trying to have my app check the registry for .NET as it is starting up and give a friendly message if .NET is not installed.
