Look at Clrver.exe Tool

We will look into purpose and usage of Clrver.exe tool present in Visual Studio and Windows SDK.

It is difficult to find list of installed .NET frameworks or CLR along with its version on a computer. We need to check it at registry level or Add/Remove programs. To overcome this issue, we have an built-in tool Clrver.exe in VS and Windows SDK. This tool will list all the versions of CLR installed on a computer, list of running managed processes along with its version. Let's open Visual Studio 2010 command prompt and execute below commands:

1. clrver - List all versions of installed CLRs.
2. clrver processId - shows version of the CLR used by that process.
3. clrver -all - List all managed processes along with CLR's version used by it.
