Programmatically get installed software

[Madottati]

Let's say I created some dll in LabVIEW, which uses i.e. XNET. I want to have a function, which checks whether the richt Software and the right Version is installed. How is it possible programmatically?

Background: I give the dll to a third-Party Partner, and he has installed only LabVIRE Runtime Engine. I want to be able to popup a message at the dll call, what is missing.

You should look at the System Configuration VIs, they list installed software and hardware as well as some other system management functionality.

Thank you Felipe,

it is working, but depending on the Software installed on a PC, this VI could take 5 seconds to run...

Is there a fast way to check whether one specific Software is installed?
