Hi,

My program needs to check if excel is installed before continuing so
that way it doesn't fail if it can't use the Excel.Application object.
Does anyone know a relaible way to check for this among all versions
of Excel? I can't seem to find a steady registry key or file location
that I know will always be there for any version. Thanks.
