I need to register msdia100.dll if the computer that I'm working on doesn't have it registered. Instead of looking into registry, I just run regsvr32 msdia100.dll. Is it safe way to do? I mean, is it OK to run regsvr32.exe multiple time?
Or, is there any way to check if some dll is registered?

It's perfectly safe.
To check if something's already registered you'd have to write a program to check for the correct registry entry. This isn't a trivial task, especially when there could be several versions of the dll registered.

2019 Update
Not sure if this wasn't possible in 2011, but now it's possible whether the DLL is registered by opening regedit and going to Edit > Find and searching by the DLL's name. If it's registered, after some time you'll be shown a folder named with GUID of this DLL which contains some extra information and physical location of the installed DLL.
