How to detect OWC version in Javascript?

hello Everyone

I am working on a CD which contains data to be explored usingOLAP tools. (Pivot tables) I have made it an autorun and the pages comes and using pivot tables component one can explore the data on it.
My problem is if office or OWC is not installed on the PC it creates errors. Now, I want to detect where Pivot table or OWC is installed in advance and if not send a message to the user to intall it. I will put in one folder the OWC. In short my question is how to detect the OWC version or availability using Javascript.
Thanks

You cannot detect this using Javascript. Just include a message to remember to install if they haven't already done so.

Can you use object detection?
