How to detect whether SMO is installed?

Hi, folks --
I am working on an install bootstrapper that (among other things)
will install Server Management Objects (SQLServer2005_XMO.msi from SQL
Server 2005 Feature Pack) iff it's not already installed.
So, how to detect programmatically whether or not it's already
installed?
What files/version/registry keys/usual suspects should I be looking
for?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello n7dai@.comcast.net,
I normally look for C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\SDK\Assemblies\Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo.d ll.
I believe current-most is 9.0.3042.0.
Thanks!
