Following is a snippet of code that I have been using to figure out if
an addin in installed.
xlApp = win32com.client.dynamic.Dispatch('Excel.Application')
xlApp.DisplayAlerts = 0
xlApp.Interactive = 1
if xlApp.Application.Addins.Count <= 0:
print "Terminating: No add_ins are available"
xlApp.quit
return 0
# Addin name should be Analysis ToolPak or Analys32
lnAddins=0
for ia in range(1, xlApp.Application.Addins.Count):
## print xlApp.Application.Addins(ia).Title
## print
str(string.lower(xlApp.Application.Addins(ia).Title)), "xx"
## print
string.find(str(string.lower(xlApp.Application.Addins(ia).Title)),
"analysis toolpak")
if
string.find(str(string.lower(xlApp.Application.Addins(ia).Title)),
"analysis toolpak") >= 0 or
string.find(string.lower(xlApp.Application.Addins(ia).Title),
"analys32") >= 0:
lnAddins=ia
print lnAddins
if lnAddins==0:
print "Terminating. Analysis ToolPak or Analy32 addins are
not availabe"
xlApp.quit
return
xlApp.Application.Addins(lnAddins).Installed = 0
xlApp.Application.Addins(lnAddins).Installed = 1

Well, xlApp.AddIns is a collection. You should be able to query the
collection item by item and check to see whether the add-in is present.
I'm leaving the code as "an exercise for the reader", but something like
this should be possible:
for addin in range( xlApp.AddIns.Count ):
if xlApp.AddIns.item(addin).Filename???
I don't know exactly which property you'd need to query.
