To determine which versions of the .NET Framework are installed, locate the %systemroot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework folder. To open this folder, you can paste this address into a Windows Explorer address bar. The following folders contain the released versions of the .NET Framework:

• v3.5

• v3.0

• v2.0.50727

• v1.1.4322

• v1.0.3705

Note If you see other folders that have a vN.N.NXXXX format, they may contain beta versions or pre-released versions of the .NET Framework. Those versions are outside the scope of this article.

To determine which versions of the .NET Framework are installed on a computer, follow these steps:

1. Open any one of the folders in the previous list.

2. Right-click the Mscorlib.dll file, and then click Properties.

3. Click the Version tab, and then note the file version.

4. Use the previous list to determine which version of the .NET Framework is installed on the computer, and then click OK.

My coworker Leigh had an issue installing .NET 3.5 SP1 http://download.microsoft.com/download/2/0/e/20e90413-712f-438c-988e-fdaa79a8ac3d/dotnetfx35.exe It would start the installation however never complete and with no errors in event logs. After some research it appears the workaround is to install latest Windows Installer (currently 4.5) http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=5A58B56F-60B6-4412-95B9-54D056D6F9F4&displaylang=en#filelist

After installing and then running the .NET 3.5 SP1 installer it sucessfully completed.

The GE Triton XL Dishwasher in my kitchen tonight would turn on and the pump was running however the water valve was not letting any water into unit. After I did some regular steps e.g. turn off power, reset dishwasher nothing seemed to do the trick. So I reached for the user manual and I know when I purchased the unit it also came with a “mini service manual” so I refered to a feature of the dishwasher called service mode. Basically it allows you to test the different components of the dishwasher such as the pump drain, main pump, water valve etc. using specfic keys on the control pad. I tested each component and the one which appeared to have failed was the water valve. I did research on the searpartsdirect.com website for the required water valve. However after reading a few appliance repair forums I came across a post which pointed out it could be the float switch. I cleaned the float switch of any crud and tested the unit again, the water valve was now functioning!

For other readers in the future if this happens some things to check according to some repair forums are:

1. Main water turned off 
2. Stuck float switch
3. Water valve inlet screen dirty
4. Water valve defective (replace) check with volt meter when its supposed to be on should read 120V
