Can it will done with registry search? can it will done with component id search?

and if yes then how please let me know.

Answer 1

If you are using Visual Studio Web installer packager you need to use custom action and try to find registry version

Try below http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sqlservercompact/archive/2008/02/08/sql-server-compact-release-versions.aspx

I would suggest to go with Wix Installer, it gives you lot of flexibilty.
