If you want to ride a horse, first you find a horse. Otherwise you find
yourself leaping onto a beast that isn't there.

Same's true of automating Office applications. You can't automate what isn't
there.

You need to have PowerPoint installed in order to automate it.

You can write it so that it automates any version of Office/PowerPoint from '97
onward, but if you want to do it without any version of Office present, I'm
afraid you're on your own.

In C, no. In VB/VBA, you'd do the usual thing of creating a new PowerPoint object,
then querying its application object's .Version property.

Generally, it's best to check the Windows Registry. See this KB article
