By default, the .NET Framework setup verification tool will only list versions of
the .NET Framework that
it detects are installed on the computer that it is being run on. As a result, the
tool will not list all
of the above versions of the .NET Framework. This product filtering can be
overridden by running the .NET
Framework setup verification tool with the following command line switch:

SILENT MODE
-----------------------------
The .NET Framework setup verification tool supports running in silent mode. In

verification tool .zip file,
extract the file netfx_setupverifier.exe from the .zip file, and then run it using
syntax like the
following:
The value that you pass with the /p switch to replace <name of product to verify>

LOG FILES
-----------------------------
This verification tool creates 2 log files by default that can be used to determine
what actions the tool
is taking and what errors it encounters while verifying a product. The 2 log files
are listed below, and
they are created in the %temp% directory by default. Note that you can find the
%temp% directory by
clicking on the Windows start menu, choosing Run, typing %temp% and clicking OK to
open the directory in
Windows Explorer.
A new pair of log files will be created each time the verification tool is
launched. The date and time the tool
is launched will be appended to the end of the log file names by default in place

above. If you want to control the exact names used for the log files, you can use
the following command line
parameters:
For example, the following command line will allow you to specify non-default names
for both log files:
