you could try FileExists

might require you to do a regread 1st to see where you need to check for the file.

also there should be errors set if you try create one.

Something like this should work for MS Word 2003.

$sPath = RegRead("HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Word\InstallRoot", "Path")
If @error Then
    MsgBox(48, "Error", "MS Office 2003 is not installed.")
    Exit
EndIf
If FileExists($sPath & "WINWORD.EXE") Then
    MsgBox(64, "Success", "MS Office 2003 is installed.")
Else
    MsgBox(48, "Error", "MS Office 2003 is not installed.")
EndIf
