Is there a way to check whether Managed DirectX runtime is installed on someones computer?

Thanks.

Through code, i dont know ,
but without code - in start | run use dxDiag to find out the version number

That would be sweet if there was a way to use code to find out if direct X is installed...but I dont think it is possible. Simply because a program cant even run if certain references dont exist (ie directX). Maybe if you had a launcher program that didnt require directX and then somehow found out how to do it with code....
