You don't even have to that much. WiX includes a library to do this for you,
which you can just include and then reference the property with a <PropertyRef>.
See the How To: Check for .NET Framework Versions in the WiX CHM file for the
general approach, but substitute in WixVSExtension instead of WiXNetExtension.
The "WixVSExtension" topic lists the available properties.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Check whether VS.NET is installed.
Found the answer myself:
* Define the following properties:
<Property Id="VSNET2005">
<RegistrySearch Id="VsNet2005"
Root="HKLM"
Key="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0"
Name="InstallDir"
Type="raw" />
</Property>
<Property Id="VSNET2005SPNUMBER">
<RegistrySearch Id="VsNet2005SPNumber"
Root="HKLM"
Key="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DevDiv\VS\Servicing\8.0"
Name="SP"
Type="raw" />
</Property>
<Property Id="VSNET2008">
<RegistrySearch Id="VsNet2008"
Root="HKLM"
Key="SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0"
Name="InstallDir"
Type="raw" />
</Property>
Then use these properties to block the installation of the certain
components..
