I am guessing that your app depends on DMO (or something like that) to be
installed by the SQL Server client tools.... The obvious answer would be to
search for isqlw.exe, osql.exe.
This will change when SQL Server 2005 ships, so it might be better to look
for the specific resource file(s) that you need. Or simply show a form
telling (reminding) the user that the SQL Server client tools need to be
installed.
