How to detect if the SQL Server is installed on the machine?

Answer:

To check that SQL Server is installed you can check that this registry key exists:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSSQLServer\MSSQLServer\CurrentVersion

By the way, you should connect to SQL Server to guarantee that SQL Server is currently available.
