Checking for Presence of .NET Framework

I am writing an app that requires a custom setup bootstrapper, and I need to determine in that custom setup.exe (using VB.NET code) how to check for the existence of a couple programs, and then install them if they are not there. I need to check for:

.NET Framework
-but how does that work if the VB.NET setup.exe is written in .NET, wouldn't I have to have .NET Framework to even run it? In which case, do I just tell the user to install it or can I check for its presence another way?

Windows Installer
-I just need to make sure 2.0 is installed

I would appreciate the help... thanks!

Jacob
