I want to be able to open 2 instances (but different versions) of a WPF application and perform actions on each. Their titles are the same, is there another way to distinguish them? Perhaps window handles, but how can I retrieve them?

Found an answer with Powershell (not a complete script, just the essential part:)

Start the first instance and get it's handle:
(Get-Process ${appname}).MainWindowHandle
Then start the next instance, run the PS script again, get 2 handles and the new one is the 2nd instance handle.
