Description

I would HIGHLY recommend using this script instead. It is more complex yet much more robust. Installing the Microsoft .NET Framework

The Function

; Function: GetDotNet
; Author: Joe Cincotta ( joe@pixolut.com )
; Date: 24/6/2004
;
; Detect the .NET Framework installation. Download if not present.
; NOTES: 
; Requires a default web browser to be installed.
; This function will quit if the framework has not been found. 
; you could replace this with a 'click when done' dialog or something
; similar which waits for the installation process to complete.
; - Note that my quick and dirty exe exists approach could be updated
; to use the registry approaches in the other .NET detect examples...
;
; Usage:
;   Call GetDotNet
;
