How can I check if OLE object is installed?

Answer:

Sometimes in development if you use OLE automation of some obejct, your application 
will not work because application is not installed on client computer. For example, 
you use MS excel automation but MS Excel is not  installed. 

You can easy check if OLE object is installed and correctly registered using 
CLSIDFromProgID function (for MS Excel as example only): 

1   var
2     ClassID: TCLSID;
3     strOLEObject: string;
4   begin
5     strOLEObject := 'Excel.Application';
6     if (CLSIDFromProgID(PWideChar(WideString(strOLEObject)), ClassID) = S_OK) then
7     begin
8   
9     end
10    else
11    begin
12  
13    end
14  end;


In same manner you can check any other required OLE object.
