Visual Studio SDK - How to detect installed extensions programatically?

How can I get a list of all installed Visual Studio extensions programatically? Also, is it possible to detect if a specific extension is already installed?

Solution

See IVsExtensionManager.GetInstalledExtensions. You can get an ExtensionManager instance with Package.GetGlobalService(typeof(SVsExtensionManager)) as IVsExtensionManager.
