I'm trying to develop an install kit for an application
that requires an already installed instance of the dotnet
framework. What is the best way to determine if/what is
already installed? Registry setting - if so which one?
Individual file - if so which one?

How can I verify if the .NET Framework has been installed?
Two ways:
1. check the Windows Registry for
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\InstallRoot
2. check for a local directory like
%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\<version>
where <version> is
v1.1.4322 - for .NET Framework v1.1
v1.0.3705 - for .NET Framework v1.0
 
You can also try to check

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework

and

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup
