Your Text: Insert Slimies » Insert UBB Code » Close Last Tag \| All Tags UBB Help	Could you extend the browsers' javascript environment with a function or object you can check for? If it's present, the protocol is supported, otherwise it dies? I would then write the links page (to the installer), and have the javascript replace the content with the "protocol is installed" content if the test succeeds, either via stright DOM injection (have the alternate content ready to load) or AJAX (query the server for alternate content). Don't forget to add some small "I-have-js-off-but-have-the-MAGE-protocol-installed" link at the bottom. I'm not certain about IE, but I'm fairly sure FF and OP could manage something of the like.
