Note: that last sentence is false. NETFX is side-by-side. You can not know that
the one you need will be there in the future unless you install NETFX yourself
(or only target a single OS version). Then it gets worse when Windows changes
the way to install a particular NETFX version over time.
wcautil.lib provides a mechanism to do that.

Better to look at log file than guess what is slow (i.e. add logging to your BA
