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

As of 2022-10-10 versions up to .NET 4.8.1 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Blog documentation, parts outdated (duplicating (or fixing) it (t)here is tedious): https://www.powershelladmin.com/wiki/List_installed_.NET_versions_on_remote_computers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/

# New feature in October 2022
Obs. As of 2023-05-25, I have published the 3.1.4 module to the PowerShell Gallery. The latest version here on GitHub is now the same as the latest version in the PSGallery ( https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/DotNetVersionLister/3.1.4 ).

Thought maybe I would wait to see if there is any feedback (doubtful).

In version 3.1.0 and up of the module, the build number is presented with a "+" trailing the version if it is not an exact match for a specific .NET Framework version. This increases the precision of the script as it formerly did not distinguish a higher build than the exact .NET Framework version.

# .NET 5 and up
See https://github.com/EliteLoser/DotNetVersionLister/tree/master/5AndUp for .NET 5 and up (SDK and Runtime).

# Installation and use

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 : 4.8.1
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.
