Thanks for the suggestion, but that will not work in our case

In at least one actual customer instance we have - out customer is 
running our app on a Microsoft Terminal Server and users get a remote 
desktop access to the server to run our app. In this specific case, 
REGISTRY queries get the users local registery on the CLIENT, but PATH 
queries check file paths on the SERVER, so registry checks do not work 
in this case.
