You can handle installation one of two ways. First, you can bundle the official 
SlimDX runtime and call it silently from your own installer. This will 
automatically check to see if SlimDX is already installed, so you wouldn't have 
to worry about it.

Otherwise, if you're going to be shipping the SlimDX DLL alongside your own app 
without using our installer, you shouldn't worry about whether the official 
runtime is installed. Just copy the DLL alongside your app and everything 
should work fine.

Unless you are using a web-based installer, and don't want to download 
redundant data. Note, there may be multiple keys.

I was able to find what versions were installed using this key:
Path:  HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer\Assemblies\Global\
Key: 
SlimDX,version="2.0.7.41",culture="neutral",publicKeyToken="B1B0C32FD1FFE4F9",pr
ocessorArchitecture="x86"
