Subject: [WiX-users] using HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer; 
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\InProgress

Is it acceptable and supported to use 
HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer;HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\InProgress
 to detect if there is an installer currently running?  Is there a better way 
(API)?

Thanks
