Is it possible to check if InfoPath is installed on the client computer
before installing a new full trusted form (with managed code behind it)?

Probably a few ways.
There's some info on how to do this in the Office Resource Kit (online). You
can read a reg key.
Or you could try to create the InfoPath automation object.

But is it also possible to check specifically for InfoPath SP1?

Check out Lab 16.

tml/odc_INF_Lab_16.asp.

You can check for the application version, which should be 11.0.6357 for
SP1.

Or you can just check to see if you can create InfoPath.Application, which
is only available in SP1.
