I had the exact same problem because I didn't want to use that Installer
thing with VisualStudio and wanted to make a command line installer that
invoked installutil.exe . At the time I sticked with a not very portable
solution but now I found a set of Registry Keys that can help you:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NetFramework

Here you can find an "InstallRoot" key that will be something like
"c:\Windows\Microsoft.Net\Framework" and you can build the rest of the
folder name by parsing some of the other keys I guess. In my system it would
be:

"c:\Windows\Microsoft.Net\Framework\v1.1.4322\InstallUtil.exe"

Good luck
