Custom Installer : Detect Ajax Framework

Question

Hi one and all,

i am building a custom installer for a site, and am wanting to find out, how do i detect for certain system requirements, ie my site uses ajax, so how do i check if ajax is installed, if not install it?

Can i do the same for sql express?

An idea that would also be great is to maybe as the user if they would like to install the extra features with a message box. ie; if ajax is not installed, it prompts the user if they would like to install the ajax framework.

thanks in advance chris

I get the impression your question is not adequately labeled. Ajax is an extremely general term - you seem to imply you want to check for a particular ajax framework. (Asp.NET AJAX?)

By the looks of to you are in fact talking about windows server platform. If that is the case, can't you query the windows registry?
