You'll find three search functions here:
1: http://nsis.sourceforge.net/archive/...ances=0,11,211
2: http://nsis.sourceforge.net/archive/...ances=0,11,211
3: http://nsis.sourceforge.net/archive/...ances=0,11,211

There are tonnes of file manipulation functions here:


As for finding if specific programs are installed, you'd need to check in the registry. Those programs should all have their own unique registry entries which you could use ReadRegStr on to check if they exist.
