check web service support

Hi there

I was wondering, is there a way to check if on a computer, if that computer can support installing a webservice or if it has IIS enabled/installed?

I want to check this so in C# I can enable/disable a particular option in the application.

Many thanks!

You can check to see if IIS is installed by looking at registry keys, like HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MicrosoftInetStp\VersionString. Unsure how to check if it's enabled (service running?).
