Why do you need to check the version of mscoree? Isn't the registry key
check sufficient?

One problem I've come across with bootstrapping .NET 4 is that if you
check the version of mscoree.dll to see if it's 4.0 or newer that check
will always fail on the checked build of Windows 7 - so you'll never
get past the prerequisites check. I don't know how much of a problem
that is, but it was for me because I was wanting to test my driver on
the checked build.
