How to check .Net Core version in launch condition of Visual studio setup project

Question

I am trying to make an installer on Visual studio for my C# project that is dependent on .Net Core 2.1. I know I need to look in file directory "C:\Program Files\dotnet\host\fxr" to check if the .NET core is installed or not. but is there a way we can check the specific version?

you can execute Dotnet --version, if the command failed, then probably .net core is not installed, if it executes correctly, it will print the version.
