For which reasons, I would put it thusly:

"Widget Manager is a local application which must be installed on your system; it cannot be run as a remote application. Therefore, you may check to see if it is already installed by ... If it is, proceed with the next chapter. If not, continue with the next section: "Installing Widget Manager"

In that fashion, we would at least reduce the mumbling in the Peanut Gallery as to our sense or sanity.

Um... except for rewording the first sentence a bit, I actually
would have a first paragraph like that one you quote.
My reasons are:

There are two separate bits of information to convey, and
they must be conveyed to someone who may not have English
