For an assembly, you can check its ImageRuntimeVersion:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.reflection.assembly.imageruntimeversion%28v=vs.110%29.aspx[^].

By "current running" you may mean different assemblies. It could be the assembly which called the currently executing method, the assembly executing at the moment, or it could be the entry-point assembly; in general case, those assemblies are different:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.reflection.assembly.getcallingassembly(v=vs.110).aspx[^],
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.reflection.assembly.getexecutingassembly(v=vs.110).aspx[^],
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.reflection.assembly.getentryassembly(v=vs.110).aspx[^],

Thanks for your valuable time.

my problem not resolved. What I want is I have one "xxxxx.exe" currently this exe is running in my machine windows services somebody installed it, I need to know the framework version of it.

Only because you did not formulate all you had to to. Isn't it obvious what else to do. Load this EXE using Assembly.LoadFrom, obtain instance of the assembly (it may actually appear to be not a .NET assembly), and do with that variable what I described.
Doesn't it finally resolve your problem?

Assembly.LoadFrom() is working
