Hi,... You should use CustomAction in DLL and write the Property IS_VS_RUNNING directly from the Custom action.
Check the WiX tutorial for details on how to write the DLL: http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/lesson3.php#3.3 I would not use the C# for custom action since it would require the .NET framework to be already installed on the machine. The sample in the tutorial is in C++. Regards Stefan Xin Liu (Intl Vendor) wrote: > Our installation requires a way to detect whether Visual Studio is > currently running.
