Check for .Net from ASP

[Bryan Harrington]

Hello.. I'm working on a "hybrid" application some classic ASP, and some
asp.net. I'm trying to develop a support type page that checks necessary
components, database connections etc.. last item is to check for the .NET
extensions. Is there a way to do that from a classic ASP page?

None that I'm aware of, especially if you're asking how to check for such
things on the client machine. You'd probably be better off asking at
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet.

Thanks Bob.. no, I'm not trying to check the client machine.. trying to
check the server configuration. I'm trying to create a diag type page that a
first level end user can pull up with support on the phone and have it list
the Database connection, check for the installed Components, list the
application variables, etc.

I've got it working the way I want it, but I'd really like to add a check
for the .NET framework without having to load up an .aspx page.. although
that would work too..

Pretty sure the most solid way is to have to load up that .aspx page.
Do it from within the asp using the xml ServerXMLHTTP whotsit?
