Require all browsers closed

[tofutim]

Is there a way to require that all browsers (IE, Firefox, Chrome) are closed during installation?

Probably you mean... if it is possible to close all the browser applications that are eventually open.

If true, InstallAware does not have a built in command to do it.
You could realize an external component to accomplish your task ... or maybe with a script using WIN API calls ... generally it is not done by forcing the application to close, but asking the user to close those before to continue.

Yes, that's much more elegant. Sometimes you see installers that indicate such-and-such application is still open. Please close them to continue. That's what I am after.

I don't have it to hand, but yes, there is a Windows API in the kernel.dll. You can call it to get the handle to a window using the window title. You can check for an invalid value to confirm if its open or not.
