If the reason is to show that the application is already installed, InstallDirRegKey is what you're looking for.

You'll have to design Custome page for this.

Page custom CName_comp_pre CName_comp_leave #custome page

function .oninit
!insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_EXTRACT "Custome page.ini"
functionend

function CName_comp_pre
!insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_DISPLAY "Repair_UNINSTALL.ini"
functionend

function CName_comp_pre
#read state of fields(textboxes) in .ini file
#Company Name & User name
functionend


To show message to user when it runs setup again use registery.
Just check wheather reg. keys are there or not in .oninit function If they are present show messagebox else run go with normal installation
Dont forget to delete reg keys in Uninstaller.
