You could try using Microsoft.Win32 namespace for registry classes:

    string regKey = @"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall";
    using (Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey key = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(regKey))
    {
        if (key.GetSubKeyNames().Any(keyName => key.OpenSubKey(keyName).GetValue("DisplayName") == "My App's Display Name"))
            Console.WriteLine("Already installed...");
        else
            Console.WriteLine("Start installing...");
    }
