How to check whether MS Office is installed on the machine.?

[Basavaraj]

Hi All,
I have an application when i program MS Word according to the requirements
of my project. I am using C++ for all the things that i do with Word. But, my
application crashes when there is no MS Office installed in the machine, its
because i assume the existance of MS Office. Can any one help me how to check
whether MS Office is installed on the machine before using any Word APIs.?

Thanks in advance.

hi!

You can check the Registry entries for MS Office using GetSetting(....)
function in VB6. If you want Complete code on how to get Installed
applications in VC++. I can send it to you.

take a look at this article

Determine If Word is Installed

You'll need to adapt the concepts to C++, but the principle should be easy
enough to follow
