Above solution is for Web browser control. My requirement is website having link of launch or install setup. we can invoke application by custom protocol but if our application is not installed on client machine then IE won't detect that. I am able to handle same on Firefox/chrome but not on IE.

Not sure why was it tagged WPF then?
Putting your question clearly is the first thing to get a resolution.
