Verify if Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package is Installed without searching in windows registry?
Is there a way to know if Visual C++ 2008 and 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package is installed in the machine using C#.
Many thanks, Chris

It seems like during the vcredist 2010 SP1 installation the key in Soreceri's post is no longer created (at least on my test PC running Windows 10 x64). I was able to find the key at:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\VC\VCRedist\x86]
The "Installed=1" REG_DWORD will be present if it is installed.
Hope this helps someone, I couldn't find it anywhere.

You can look in the registry. (registry keys to look at) http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astebner/archive/2010/05/05/10008146.aspx
