I was able to answer my own question with the following code based.

 Dim strFrameworkDir As String

    strFrameworkDir = Environ$("systemroot") & "\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5"

    If Dir$(strFrameworkDir, vbDirectory) = vbNullString Then

        MsgBox ".NET Framework 3.5 Must be Installed on this machine!"         
        End

    End If

Check the subfolders in the %systemroot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework folder.
