Checking for the existance of registry keys?

I have read some things on this I am just not 100% sure how to go about it. What I am doing is looking to detect which version of office is currnetly installed. I want to to this by checking in for the InstallRoot key in the registry for excel and then check to make sure excel.exe actually exists.

I would have to look in the different versions of office the ones I have to check are Office 8, 9 , 10, and 11.

Thanks for any advice.

If the path to excel.exe is in the registry, use ReadRegStr.
Then use IfFileExists to check if the path os correct.
