If a user attempts to install a SLOOB app when it is already installed an InvalidOperationException is thrown with the message "Application is already installed.". We can wrap in a try..catch to handle this:

 try
{
    Application.Current.Install();
}
catch (InvalidOperationException ex)
{
    MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
}

Or better yet, remove the install button from the UI if the application is already installed:

if (Application.Current.InstallState == InstallState.Installed)
    btnInstall.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed;
else
    btnInstall.Visibility = Visibility.Visible;
