How to find if SQL Server 2008 Management Objects installed?

My application needs SMO libraries to be installed. I want my installer to verify if SQL Server 2008 Management Objects already installed and if not install the SMO feature pack bundled with my installer. How do I find out if it is already installed? Is there any registry key to verify?

Thanks, Hem

Solution for SQL Server 2012:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\SharedManagementObjects\CurrentVersion\Version

You can check if this key exists (and check if the value is greater than 11).

I think the registry key for SMO is located at HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Database. You could probably check to see if this key exists and install the Feature Pack if it's not there. Take a look here and see if it helps you?
