Checking to see if a separate program has already been installed
Is there a way to check if a separate program has already been installed before installing a program using InstallScript? If the program is not installed, I want to notify the user and prompt them to install that program before installing ours.
Thanks!
Thanks!

By using registry reading techniques you can check for required programs are installed or not installed, before installing your program.
Gets registry reading techniques by searching install shield help library by "RegDBKeyExist".
