Since you need to reference wix.dll in your extension, try the following:
1. Call System.Reflection.Assembly.GetReferencedAssemblies to get array of
AssemblyName objects
2. Enumerate through the array looking for WIX assembly,
3. Check the Version property of AssemblyName object associated with wix.dll

Subject: Re: [WiX-devs] OnDetectRelatedBundle() in 3.7
Is it possible to detect the WiX toolset version inside the extension so it can
fail at build time rather than runtime?
Yes, very much a downside. Shipping a single BA is not possible... just like
the old days with WiX extensions (which still happens when new major versions
of WiX toolset come out).

Ok fair enough, thought I'd ask though as I have just release a BA in to
the wild!

At this point in time, BA's need to be recompiled when moving from one
version of WiX toolset to the next. Still too early in the lifecycle of Burn to
start making binary backwards compatibility a goal.

A change has been made to the burn engine OnDetectRelatedBundle()
method in version 3.7 to add the parameter relationType; am I correct that this

If I am correct could this change be moved to a new function so it is
non-breaking?
Yes, it's a breaking change and not the only one. Either approach (new
parameter or new function) would be a breaking binary change. The COM-crazy way
would be to add a new interface but that's how you end up with IFooEx2
interfaces.<shudder>
