You can check for existing apps by using APPSEARCH.
Have a look at this video -

Does anyone know of alternatives with a smaller price tag?

if the other application is an msi you can use the upgrade table (this is what it was designed for).
if not the appsearch method mentioned in the previous post is a free easy workable solution. not sure where you got the cost from ?

yes
that's what i was referring too.
i noticed the demo was for wps and the features they demonstrate are for the paid version.

Shouldn't be that hard doing with a free MSI editor either.
An appsearch example can be found at http://blogs.msdn.com/windows_installer_team/archive/2005/08/27/454302.aspx

you could use the wise demo to work out what you need to change (ie in the appsearch related tables)
then edit the original with orca.
