Check if app exists and open from internet

I have a stand alone application (messenger). I was asked to the messenger to have the fallowing possibility: from a link with a phone number parameter to make a call in the application. If the messenger is not installed, to take the client to the official web site. If the product is installed to see if it is open. If it is open and the user is logged in to make the call. My idea is the client to check the registry and see if the product is there, which solves the first part. If there are certain keys in the registry next step is from the processes to see if the product is active. If active somehow send instruction to call the function : CallNumber( phonenumber phnum) Can you give me any leads on how to do all this, any other solution to the task? The project is done in C++ Thank you very much Dimkov Trajce

What??? What legitimate reason do you have for dialing a number? Possibly without the user knowing that you have done so. Programs that have done this in the past have been used to hijack users phonelines and redirect them to premium rate numbers (often abroad). Please explain what the legitimate reason is to do this.

I am developing the application, and it is a messenger who has voip. The company asked me if users can make phone calls using the messenger from a link on a web page with the phone number as a parameter. If some security is needed i can implement it in the application, and the link they will get only after signing in on the official webpage. Extra difficulty is if they erase the the messenger. This is the reason why I have to see if the application is in the computer(if so but closed to ask to open the application) and if the application is by some chance removed, (it is not in the registry my guess) take the user on the official download site. I believe something like this can be done with scripting on the client side code with javascript, but I am not sure

If they erase the messenger and you want to take them to the official webpage, then you wouldn't want to dial the number. You would just use something like
Process.Start("http://www.mycompany.com");
from the application.

let me split this to couple of questions: 1.Can I access the registry with IE and if yes how? 2. Can I use IE and scripting language to call a program with parameter? Thank you Pete in advance
Directly, you can't access the registry. The way that I've done this in the past was to have an external C routine called from a Java applet running in the browser session.
