Hi,

My C# application used a COM. When I deploy my application, how to detect if
the target machine has installed the COM?

Thanks,
Max
 
You could either try to detect it before you attempt to use the object, e.g.
by using Type.GetTypeFromProgID(), or you could simply try to instantiate
the COM object and see if you get an exception.
