Do you care which one? VS 2003 and 2005 are both devenv.exe and could
both be running.
I'm also curious why you care - this might be one of those cases where
describing what you want to achieve is more useful than asking how to
implement your solution.

Thanks Lvevi.
My question still lies on how to set DEVENV_RUNNING. A custom
C++ DLL would do the trick - with a quick look up for the process id.
But I was hoping that some diligent sole had already crafted
one.

Off the top of my head you could schedule a Custom Action to run
before LaunchConditions I believe and set a property like
DEVENV_RUNNING? Then you could have a:
<Condition Message="Please close devenv.exe before
installing.">NOT DEVENV_RUNNING</Condition>
I haven't tested this, but it seems like it would work.

Hi,
I need to determine if an application (devenv.exe) is not
running as part of an install. Is there any means of doing this within
WiX?
Thanks,
Jason
