Yes but this is probably a bad idea. You're going to have bugs or some reason to upgrade and you will create a support nightmare for yourself. Add a custom action to the installer on install where it creates a deeply embedded registry key if it doesn't exist, and if it does exist have the installer bomb out (throw an exception).
Serkan is our residential installer guru and i'm sure he will be on the thread shortly.
