MORE INFORMATION

The "Remarks" section of the help topic states the following:

Some .NET Framework version 1.0 common language runtime DLLs have incorrect versions such as v1.x86ret and "retail."

The following is the correct information:
  • When you use the Assembly.ImageRuntimeVersion property, some of the .NET Framework version 1.0 common language runtime DLLs have the wrong version numbers. This is a known issue. The incorrect version numbers include the following:
    • v1.x86* (where * is a wildcard character)
    • retail
    • v1.0.xxxx (where xxxx is a build number)
    • COMPLUS
    The Assembly.ImageRuntimeVersion property maps these incorrect versions to version 1.0.3705. Therefore, the Assembly.ImageRuntimeVersion property returns 1.0.3705 for all the .NET Framework version 1.0 common language runtime DLLs, including those DLLs that have the wrong version numbers.
