Hello,

Does anyone know what registry key exactly defines which
version of VS.NET is installed on the machine?
I have checked the registry and it seems that the possible
key might be:
hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\VisualStudio\7.0
\registration. The ProductID entry could identify the
version of VS.NET but I am not sure.

Thanks,
Serge.
 
I need this during the installation of our product. We
need to determine which version of VS.NET the customer
has, and proceed accordingly. By the version of VS.NET, I
primarily mean VS.NET2002 or VS.NET2003.
I would think that many developers will have similar issue
but I have never come across the VS.NET registration. Does
anyone know the correct key for at least one of the
versions?

Thanks,
Serge.

If HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\7.0 is available, VS.NET 2002
should be installed.
If HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\7.1 is available, VS.NET 2003
should be installed.
If both are installed, you might want to pop up a dialog where the
user can chose one of them.
