DotNetVersionLister

Get a list of installed .NET Framework versions on (remote) Windows computers.

As of 2019-06-18 versions up to .NET 4.8 are supported/detected. It's based on the information in this article: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/migration-guide/how-to-determine-which-versions-are-installed

Blog documentation (I'm too lazy to duplicate here): https://www.powershelladmin.com/wiki/List_installed_.NET_versions_on_remote_computers

It's published to the PowerShell Gallery, so you can install/inspect/download with Install-Module, Find-Module and Save-Module. Link: https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/DotNetVersionLister/

Example installation for your user only:

Install-Module -Name DotNetVersionLister -Scope CurrentUser #-Force

Example use:

Get-STDotNetVersion

and

Get-STDotNetVersion -ComputerName server1, server2, server3

or

Get-STDotNetVersion -ComputerName server1, server2, server3 -PSRemoting

Example output:

Get-STDotNetVersion -NoSummary


ComputerName : localhost
>=4.x        : 4.6.2
v4\Client    : Installed
v4\Full      : Installed
v3.5         : Not installed (no key)
v3.0         : Not installed (no key)
v2.0.50727   : Not installed (no key)
v1.1.4322    : Not installed (no key)
Ping         : True
Error        : 

Notes

The command/function name used to be Get-DotNetVersion in versions before v3 of the module. This is aliased if the command does not currently exist in the PowerShell session, but you have to either run Get-STDotNetVersion first to load it, as auto-load for Get-DotNetVersion does not work - or you can simply Import-Module -Name DotNetVersionLister first, as we had to on PowerShell v2.
