Hi all,

What's a quick way for me to check in an MSI that the app it is upgrading
(same app, older version) is running or not? (the upgrade can't work if the
app is running). The previous version has to be exited before the silent
removal of the old one and silent install of the new one will work properly.

Also, where would this sequence go? Would it be a custom action? Any ideas
on how to write it?

Thanks,

I would be putting it somewhere before the removeproducts
action.

a guy there called Jimmy huigens develops heaps of stuff
to do exactly that. he has a few calls that already check
running processes and if you need to speak to him in
