ReleaseKey=394271

opened this issue · comments

,NET Checker evidently hasn't been updated to support the .NET Framework 4.6.1. The release key for WIndows 10 is 394254, and the key for all other operating systems is 394271. It recognizes neither.

Adding a Description for this bug...

When someone wants to check what version of the .NET Framework they have, they can use this little utility that they run on their machine. It checks the registry for a number which is the SPECIFIC version of whatever .NET Framework you have. So 4.6 is some number and 4.6.1 is another. Every time a new version comes out we need to update the website with details on where to download it or what it is.

I tried to reproduce this bug.
From what I read in the code of "Program.cs", if the release key is 394271, the program causes the user's default browser to launch and display the url "http://smallestdotnet.com/?releaseKey=394271".
On opening this url from my computer, the website says
"We Found .NET!
The .Net Checker application determined that you have 4.6.1 on your machine. You have 4.6.1, this is a recent version of .NET. Download an installer for the newest version .NET 4.6.1 Web.
"
which is not very different from when I set release key as that of .NET Framework 4.5.1 (378758) as the corresponding url "http://smallestdotnet.com/?releaseKey=378758" says
"We Found .NET!
The .Net Checker application determined that you have 4.5.1 on your machine.
"

So, what exactly do you mean by the .NET Checker not recognizing the release keys 394254 and 394271?

Here is a list of all the release keys. I (or someone) needs to update the
app to support and recognize ALL these:
