Scott Hanselman created a nice webpage which tells you which .NET Framework is installed and which one to download if it's not the current one.

From Microsoft:

How to determine which versions of the .NET Framework are installed 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

...

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

  • Open any one of the folders in the previous list.
  • Right-click the Mscorlib.dll file, and then click Properties.
  • Click the Version tab, and then note the file version.
  • Use the previous list to determine which version of the .NET Framework is installed on the computer, and then click OK.
  • Repeat these steps for each version of the .NET Framework on the computer.

My favorite tool for detecting installed .NET versions is ASoft .NET Version Detector. It tells you all versions currently installed, including service packs and the "Client Profile" version. Nothing to install, just an executable.
