If you're using Wix v3, we have all of these detections wrapped up in an
extension so you don't have to duplicate the effort. They're contained in
the WixVsExtension.dll. If you need a reminder on how to use an extension,
check out
http://blogs.msdn.com/jrock/archive/2007/10/19/how-to-use-extensions-in-voti
ve-iis-or-ui-extensions-for-example.aspx. You can check out the topic in
wix.chm on the WixVSExtension, but it looks like what you want is the
VS90_IDE_VSTS_TESTSYSTEM_INSTALLED property. You can use it by having a
<PropertyRef Id="VS90_IDE_VSTS_TESTSYSTEM_INSTALLED"> in your authoring.
Thanks,

Subject: [WiX-users] VS Orcas SKU Detection
Hi, I need to detect if the Visual Studio codename "Orcas" VSTS SKU is
installed. I found that I could use this registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DevDiv\VS\Servicing\9.0\VSTS
Is this the best practice for detecting the VSTS Orcas SKU? Will it work for
any VSTS specific SKU (Database, Tester, Dev, etc)?
Thanks,
-Adrian
