You can also look into the UpdateApps UDF for a convenient log and wrapper for installs.

Instead of comparing file versions, look into the uninstall keys and the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\LocalPackages
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\Products

keys to determine if the package was installed
