Get directory of installed .NET runtime

Description

Given a .Net version number, this function returns that .Net framework's install directory. This is useful if you intend to call 'RegAsm.exe', or 'GACUtil.exe' on one of your .Net assembly DLLs, since these executables are stored in the directory this function returns.

Parameters

in: version of .Net framework required (eg. "v2.0") out: directory in which it is installed (eg. "C:\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727")

Returns "" if the specified version of the .Net framework does not appear to be installed.
