I need to check if the Windows Installer is installed on the system , before starting the msiexec from my application. How can I do it from the code? Thanks.

Microsoft .Net development question. Also, maybe it is possible to check from the registry, I am not sure. Anyway, I think it is a development question, but I was moved from that forum. Maybe guys somewhere else can help. Thanks.
