What does the newly installing application look for to determine previous installation? Does it actually take inventory of the device for all known files or specific registry entrie(s)?

It would seem to me looking for known files is not a reliable way because of possible duplicate file names with other apps.

I'm curious how an application "know" that there was a previously installed app.

Thanks
