How to determine if the "Full" (vs "Client") .NET Frameworks is installed

  1. Go to Start-->Run-->Regedit and go to this path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-->SOFTWARE-->MICROSOFT-->NET Framework Setup-->NDP 
    and if .NET Frameworks 4.5 is installed, it should look something like this:
    Net Framework Version
    If the registry sub-key "Full" is not present, then .NET Frameworks 4.5 is not installed.  The number under the "Data" column in the "Release" key in the registry example above defines the specific version of .NET installed.  A value of "378389" means .NET Framework 4.5 is installed.  Values higher indicate more recent versions of .NET-- for details from Microsoft go here.
