This is something I come across all the time with Microsoft product - in particular, we have a product which is a plugin to Microsoft Visio.

Our installer currently has to detect that Visio is installed, but hasn't been run, and tell them to run it. I intend to rewrite the installer soon (from WISE to NSIS) and hopefully I'll be able to improve this behaviour ...
