Instead of browsing to forums from www.installaware.com/forum/, browse to http://forums.installaware.com and login from there (you'll probably be redirected to installaware.com/forum again, but if you browse back to forums.installaware.com, you're already logged in). Navigate here to this thread and try to download again.

It will work now.


Oh yeah!
It works. I followed exactly.
Thanks Gimz0 XD

Code: Select all

Set Variable MSGBOX to

Check for Process "$PROCESS_NAME$", get result into variable RUNNING
if Variable RUNNING Equals TRUE
 MessageBox: Terminate Process, The process $PROCESS_NAME$ is running and it will be terminated in order to continue the installation.$NEWLINE$Please save your work and then click OK.$NEWLINE$Click Cancel if you want to continue without terminating the process.

end
 

any way, thank u for answering. is there some guys who could help me related to this topic. I have the similar problem, after I add several lines like above codes. I did some tests, at first installation, the application is installing, absolutely and then installaware detect the process running background, and then that message box is popped. but it is first time I try to install, so this logic does not make sense. any comments, welcome. thanks in advance

Hi Guys,

Could I detect whether the application which has the same name with what I want to install is running on the computer as soon as I launch and install the same installer with the higher version?

So far, I tried several ways. unfortunately, It can not work. as soon as I launch the installer and want to install it. does not matter whether the application is running, the install always popup messagebox and inform me the application is running.

what I added as the previous post shown.

any guys could help me? thanks a lot

Dear User,

I just checked both "Check and Terminate" process commands ... and both work fine.

BTW, I released a simple project to test such functionality that (... see attachment).
To use it, leave Notepad.exe running while executing the setup package, otherwise the Message-Box used as confirmation for the process termination, it will be not displayed.

Hope this helps you.

Regards
