Detecting if a program is already installed with NSIS

by

How about this.
I had this in an old NSIS script laying around.

; Check to see if already installed
  ReadRegStr $R0 HKLM "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\<YOUR-APP-NAME>" "UninstallString"
  IfFileExists $R0 +1 NotInstalled
  messagebox::show MB_DEFBUTTON4|MB_TOPMOST "<YOUR-APP-NAME>" \
    "0,103" \
    "<YOUR-APP-NAME> is already installed." \
    "Launch Uninstall" "Cancel"
    Pop $R1
  StrCmp $R1 2 Quit +1
  Exec $R0
Quit:
  Quit

NotInstalled:
