Take the guesswork out
Apps may require specific versions of .NET and Visual C++ to be present on your machine before you can utilize them. Some offer an out-link to download the requisite, while others do not. Having a quick option to sort out what you have beforehand keeps you in charge of the process, allowing you to decide where to download from.

Simple interface
.NET Checker's interface gives you three options; Check which .NET versions are installed, which Visual C++ versions are installed, and which .NET versions are required for a specific app. Each option is initiated via one click. Results are color-coded for quick reference.

A good tool for the toolbox
.NET Checker makes the process of checking which versions you have and which you don't easy, and the fact that it is small and portable is a bonus. Results are compiled and displayed quickly, and usage is simple, making it excellent for any level user wanting to retrieve specific system info.
