How to check if specific web browser (chrome, firefox, opera) is installed on system? (C++/Windows platform). Maybe this can be check in somewhere in registry?

A:
Like Andrey says, there is no way to detect everything
You should probably start off by looking for browser specific registry keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mozilla\Mozilla Firefox
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Opera Software
then move on to
<HKEY_CURRENT_USER|HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>\SOFTWARE\Clients\StartMenuInternet
and finally
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\HTTP and HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.htm[l]
