you need to do a system search for a file or registry key that get installed by active directory and store this in a Public property say MYSEARCHPROP. You can use this in a condition like this: if MYSEARCHPROP then ...
This works because MYSEARCHPROP is empty if the search returns no results.

Hi Walter,
Thanks a lot for your help. I've just done this 

function BOOL CheckMAPI()
	STRING szKey, szField, szValue, svResult, msg;
	NUMBER nValue, nSize, nType;
	BOOL nRet; 
begin 
      
    nRet = FALSE;
	szKey =  "\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows Messaging Subsystem"; 
	szField = "MAPI";
	nType = REGDB_NUMBER;
	REGDB_OPTIONS = REGDB_OPTIONS | REGDB_OPTION_WOW64_64KEY; 	
	RegDBSetDefaultRoot(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE); 
	//Check to see if the key exists.
	if (RegDBKeyExist (szKey) = 1) then		 
	    // Retrieve key value information.	
	    if (RegDBGetKeyValueEx(szKey, szField, nType, szValue, nSize) = 0) then
		    StrToNum(nValue,szValue); 
		    Sprintf(msg,"Method Suceess: RegDBGetKeyValueEx(szKey=%s,szField=%s,nType=%d,szValue=%s,nSize=%d)",szKey,szField,nType,szValue,nSize);
			WriteLogMsg(msg);
			
		    if(nValue = 1) then 
		    	// look for MAPI32.DLL 
		    	if(FindFile (WINSYSDIR, "mapi32.dll", svResult) = 0) then 
		    		WriteLogMsg("Detected " + "MAPI32.DLL at WINSYSDIR=" + WINSYSDIR);
			    	nRet = TRUE; 
			    else
			    	WriteLogMsg("NOT Detected " + "MAPI32.DLL at WINSYSDIR=" + WINSYSDIR);
			    endif;
			
		    endif; 
		    
		else 
			Sprintf(msg,"Method Failed: RegDBGetKeyValueEx(szKey=%s,szField=%s,nType=%d,szValue=%s,nSize=%d)",szKey,szField,nType,szValue,nSize);
			WriteLogMsg(msg); 
		    SprintfBox( SEVERE, "MAPI not detected", "Unable to retreive MAPI information." );   	
	    endif;
	    	 
	endif;
	
	if(!nRet) then 
		msg =  "MAPI not installed.\nCisco Mail Free/Busy Synchronization service requires MAPI installed and running.";
		WriteLogMsg(msg);
	   	SprintfBox( SEVERE, "MAPI not installed", msg); 
	endif; 
		 
	return nRet;
end;


Is there any MAPI prerequisite or AD prerequisites I could include into the project? Similar to .NET Framework prerequisite etc.?

Thanks,
