Identification of ActiveX

Visual Studio120
I am facing one problem, related to "identification of ActiveX"

installed in machine or not.



There will be one link in the application, clicking on that link will

open 3rd party UI. But before opening 3rd party UI, on link click it

needs to be checked if ActiveX is installed in system or not. If not

then warning message is to be displayed.



Does anyone know, how through C# code we can identify if ActiveX is

installed or not? How we can identify its information from Registry?

ActiveX is a marketing term for an aspect of COM. COM is installed on

all modern Windows System. You going to need to be more specific about

your problem. If you are talking about the VB6 runtime then you will

need to pick on of the required files and look to see if it is present

in the Windows System Directory.
