MS Office

How can I know that the MS Office is installed in your PC using VB.
I think I am supposed to know using API, but no more idea unfortunately.

and one more question.

Are there any ways to find User's name as registered in MS Office, using VB?

Thanks.

I don't think there is a particular method to know if Office is installed. But Try this :

When you install Office on a computer, it install some files as WinWord or Excel,... So test if thoose files are present on the computer and you'll get your answer.

Otherwise, you can test the registry too ! Some keys indicate that Office is installed.

It's just an idea ...
