How to check outlook is installed or not thru programatically

[pandian]

Hi All,

I don't know how to check outlook is installed or not in client
machine. I used some registry keys to check but that are not valuable.
Please any one help me how to check outlook is installed or not in a
machine.
I am using VC++.



Thanks in Advance

Hi pandian,

There are different methods, one possible method:

Open this key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App
Paths\OUTLOOK.EXE

Read the default value which should contains the full path to the Outlook
executable.

If you get a path, Outlook should be installed.

You could continue to read version-information from the Outlook.exe then.

do you just need to know if its installed or does it need to be configured
with a profile? its installed by default with office but many people don't
use it.
