How to detect if an Internet Explorer plugin is already installed using JavaScript

For Firefox, it is possible to detect if a Firefox extension is installed using JavaScript by checking whether a specific image is existing on chrome://. But, how can i do the detection on Internet Explorer for an Internet Explorer plugin using JavaScript or others.

Thanks.
