The /easiest/ way is to simply look at the folder list contained at

%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework

If you have .NET Framework v1.0 installed, you'll have a folder named
v1.0.3705

If you have .NET Framework v1.1 installed, you'll have a folder named
v1.1.4322

If you have .NET Framework v2.0 installed, you'll have a folder named
v2.0.50215 (beta)
or v2.0.xxx (where xxx > 50215) if you have the release version installed.

(I've not yet installed the release version, so I don't know the exact build
number.)
