Use ReadRegStr
First read the registry string using ReadRegStr for the key HKLM\Software\Java Soft\Java Development Kit\Current Version and check for error using iferror if it says any error then the system does't have java else u will be getting the current version of java running in the variable. Hope this will help u. Have u got any idea of checking for administrator rights before installation.

Have u got any idea of checking for administrator rights before installation.

How can I make sure the user installing my software has admin rights?
Use the IsAdmin DLL to find out.
If you are using version b0 or above you can use UserInfo.dll in your contrib folder.
