There is no simple way to do this really because .NET updates are in place updates that replace older versions. This means that the version numbers are always the same except for the build and release numbers. The registry is the proper place to check and then explicitly look up what the release matches in terms of `simple` version number.

You can do this with Powershell to get the release build:

Get-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Full" -Name Release

Then look up the simple version number here:

If you have wwDotnetBridge you can do:

DO wwDotnetBridge
loBridge = GetwwDotnetBridge()
? loBridge.GetDotnetVersion()

This prints out all version info for wwDotnetBridge, .NET and Windows:

wwDotnetBridge Version   : 6.22.0.0
wwDotnetBridge Location  : C:\WEBCONNECTIONPROJECTS\WWTHREADS\DEPLOY\WWDOTNETBRIDGE.dll
.NET Version (official)  : 4.0.30319.42000
.NET Version (simplified): 4.7.2
Windows Version          : 6.2.9200.0 - Release: 1809
