You can wrap a call to CreateObject in a separate function.  If the 
function fails, the error trap code returns False.  See below:

   Private Function IsDLLRegistered(ProgID As String) As Boolean
      Dim obj As Object
      On Error GoTo ErrHandler
         
      Set obj = CreateObject(ProgID)
      IsDLLRegistered = True
      Set obj = Nothing
      Exit Function
   ErrHandler:
      IsDLLRegistered = False
   End Function

You can also iterate the registry in code, looking for an exact mathc to 
the path & filename of the DLL.
