[wix-users] DotNet 5x detection

[Mike Henseler]

Or maybe this key, but still have to parse version
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\dotnet\Setup\InstalledVersions\x64\sharedhost

If 5x has been added to WiX, please update this page, thnks

Currently WIX does not have a check for NETFRAMEWORK50 or does it?

Looking at the wix source code, it appears you do not actually parse the version number pulled from registry, you only use the existence of the key as detection. Correct me if I am wrong.
Example:
     <Property Id="NETFRAMEWORK45" Secure="yes">
      <RegistrySearch Id="NetFramework45" Root="HKLM" Key="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Full" Name="Release" Type="raw" />
    </Property>

Currently I have written  a CA to get version from this key but have to parse the version info and cannot use only the existence of this key as a positive detection.
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\dotnet\Setup\InstalledVersions\x64\hostfxr\Version"

Is there a better cleaner way to detect DotNet 5?

What is the plan for future WIX detection of .net 5x?

thnks
