You can run this in powershell      System Runtime InteropServices RuntimeEnvironment   SystemConfigurationFile   Which outputs this for  net 4     C  Windows Microsoft NET Framework v4 0 30319 config machine config   Note however that this might change depending on whether  net is running as 32 or 64 bit which will result in  Framework  or  Framework64  respectively

32-bit   windir  Microsoft NET Framework  version  config machine config   64-bit   windir  Microsoft NET Framework64  version  config machine config     version  should be equal to v1 0 3705  v1 1 4322  v2 0 50727 or v4 0 30319   v3 0 and v3 5 just contain additional assemblies to v2 0 50727 so there should be no config machine config  v4 5 x and v4 6 x are stored inside v4 0 30319
