Sorry for the delay in replying...

To be honest, I've never had to worry that much about it failing since all our systems are under a standard config. It's basically trying it out on one system, working out the bugs and then deploying on all the computers. I usually just check for the existance of the dll or ocx (e.g. file("c:\windows\system\mscomct2.ocx")) then run the code if it's not there. Sorry I couldn't help out more.
