Check for installed updates programmatically

Hello.
Is there a good way of finding out if a HotFix update is installed on
a user's machine?

I need to know on install time if this hot fix is installed or not. I
know the hotfix appears in the Add Remove Programs , and therefore i
assumed there's a registry entry for it. It seems like its not as easy
as i hoped: I found it under:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
\Component Based Servicing\PackageDetect\Microsoft-Windows-Foundation-
Package~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~~0.0.0.0]

But to enumerate that key for the specific hotfix that i'm looking for
seems like not the right approach.

Any ideas?
