I'm leasing a server from 1and1, and I can't get into the regedit. How can I tell if asp.net is installed, or if I need to install it?

If you have internet access and IE, browse to http://www.hanselman.com/smallestdotnet/ in IE. It will tell you which .net you have installed.

See my screenshot below:

How do I tell if .NET 3.5 SP1 is installed?

If you can get to Add/Remove Programs on the control panel it should be listed there under:

Microsoft ASP.Net xxx

I have the version number 1.0.20105.0 in the control panel which is at least 4.0.

You could also go to "IIS" -> "Application Pools" -> Click on the "DefaultAppPool" and select "Basic Settings"; then under ".NET Framework version:" see if ".Net Framework v.4x" is there

  • Thanks Click. but there is not 'start' button, so I cannot add/remove programs ... – Jason Weber Apr 23 '12 at 07:53
  • I've updated the answer with another method; can you get to IIS? – Luke Merrett Apr 23 '12 at 07:54
  • It looks like you can do it programmatically as well; you could write a quick app and deploy it to find out: http://www.hanselman.com/blog/ProgrammaticallyDetermineWhatVersionOfASPNETYoureRunning.aspx – Luke Merrett Apr 23 '12 at 07:55
  • Thanks for helpinng Click.... I got to start / control panel ... add / remove programs .... but it won't let me add dotNetFx40_Full_setup on this Windows 2008 server. – Jason Weber Apr 23 '12 at 07:58
  • Ah that sucks; do you have to request permission to install programs on the server? – Luke Merrett Apr 23 '12 at 08:06
