Client Management Suite

I'm having trouble creating a report that shows how many computer do not have .NET 3.5 or .NET 4 installed.  I need to ensure all machines in my environment have one or the other.  Can someone help me out?  I'm running 7.1 SP1.

Inventory ignores %windir% by default. I had this problem and JimChud suggested running a report on Add/Remove programs:

Thanks Andy.  This is very helpful.  Can you show me what your detection rule for .NET 3.5 looks like?

I used one from an earlier version of Patch Management before they stopped using Inventory Rules, the rules still exist on my NS, ".NET Framework v3.5 SP1 Software Release - Inv":

For the 64 bit versions change the GUID and add a 64 bit OS rule
