I'm looking for something like a Powershell script to check if msdeploy is installed and if it is, what version
I've considered checking "c:\Program Files\IIS" and checking for MSDeploy installations there, but is this always guaranteed to be the install location?
I need this to work on any given server machine

You can verify web deploy is installed by going to the "Programs and Features" control panel and looking for "Microsoft Web Deploy 2.0" in the list of installed programs.
Once the command prompt is up, you will navigate to the folder level where MSDeploy.exe exists. On Windows 7, the default installation will place msdeploy.exe in C:\Program Files (x86)\IIS\Microsoft Web Deploy. msdeploy.exe has an extensive command base.
Overview. Web Deploy (msdeploy) simplifies deployment of Web applications and Web sites to IIS servers. Administrators can use Web Deploy to synchronize IIS servers or to migrate to newer versions of IIS.
To check that the Web Deployment Agent Service is runningOn the Start menu, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Services. Locate the Web Deployment Agent Service row, and verify that the Status is set to Started. If the service is not already started, click Start.
When msdeploy is installed (no matter where in the file system), it will add its install path to the registry at;
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\IIS Extensions\MSDeploy\<version>\InstallPath
and its version information to;
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\IIS Extensions\MSDeploy\<version>\Version
...where <version> is currently 1, 2 or 3 depending on the WebDeploy version you have installed.
