Well you could use FileExists() to see if the .exe file exists, or the way I would do it is by using the RegRead() on this key "HKLM\SOFTWARE". Something like this:

$Name = "Name of Software company"
$Key = "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE"

For $i = 1 To 1000
    $SubKey = RegEnumKey($Key, $i)
    If @error Then
        MsgBox(0, "", "Your software was not found.")
        ExitLoop
    Else
        If $SubKey = $Name Then 
            MsgBox(0, "", "Your software was found.")
            ExitLoop
        EndIf   
    EndIf           
Next
