.exe

[Steve Kennedy]

Is there way to tell from just a single .exe, what version of the .NET
framework it was built with?

Hi Steve,

Yes, by using unmanaged code, or at least if you can run .NET app then by
reading some of registry values.

There is good article about it: http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/frameworkversiondetection.asp

If you run ildasm.exe on it (say the 2.0 FW version) the exe's manifest will
show you compiler-inserted dependencies on mscorlib and system, and these
versions will be 2.0 for the 2.0 framework, 1.0.5000 for the 1.1 framework,
and 1.0.3300 (IIRC) for the 1.0 framework.
