InstallAware

I'm finding it impossible to uninstall a program still running in memory. I can use "Terminate Program", but it doesn't kill the "Process". I would like to completely remove the entire app folder (Program Files\our-company\our-app) upon uninstall, but I cannot. I read a post here concerning a plugin to Terminate Processes, but It doesn't work on IA9. Help...

I will state again that IA needs a 'Terminate Process' method to kill running processess.

Dear pointeman,

Until a proper plugin is developed, have you considered calling "taskkill.exe /im PROCNAME"?

Q. Where do I get 'Taskkill.exe'?

Q. I will need to package 'Taskkill.exe' with the IA9 installer project?

Dear pointeman,

taskkill is a system process. It comes with Windows and therefore you don't need to pack it with IA.

Best,

Here is the proper syntax to 'Force' the process to close. Just using /IM was not enough it seems. Also, don't forget the process FULL name (with '.exe') as seen in Task Manager.

Run Program $WINSYSDIR$\taskkill.exe /F /IM Updater.exe
