You can use this method to look for the program file in the folder for the start menu.

Hi,
&nbsp;
The actual check (and, thus, the code) depends on your tested application. It might be just a check of some folder, as it was suggested by Marsha; or it might be a query to WMI; or some other flag that indicates whether or not the tested application is installed in the system.
