title: How to check .NET framework version and Microsoft Visual C++ run-time library version in Windows via command line (Putty)
body: <p>I often use putty to access some Windows Server machine. To troubleshooting an installation, I need to know which .NET framework version and MS Visual C++ run-time library that machine are installed.</p>
  
  <p>From this: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2238696/is-there-a-way-to-determine-the-net-framework-version-from-the-command-line">Question</a>  </p>
  
  <p>I know how to get .NET framework version by:</p>
  
  <pre><code>dir %WINDIR%\Microsoft.Net\Framework\v*
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But not MS Visual C++ run-time library.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any solution?</p>
