Close Open Programs

I am using the latest build of Express.

I need for the install to close Outlook before it runs. Can/how do I do this?

Even if it just pops up a reminder to shut it down that would be great.

Thanks,
Paula

There is no build in function for that (to terminate), but using Windows API you can do it. Check if the process is running by using the Check Process command and if it does, popup the warning using the MessageBalloon command of InstallAWARE.

If it's too advanced for your knownledge, i can do it for you at a very reasonable fee (not only this, but create the whole project).
Let me know by pm or at pkefal (at) installaware (dot) com

Actually, i've created the script for you.. Please find it attached.
Use the Include Script command to use it in your installation file.

Thanks so much! I only have the express version though - I think I'll have to upgrade to be able to use the script. I don't have anythign anywhere that lets me include a script.

I really appreciate your helpfulness!

Yes, you'll have to upgrade to developer edition.
Pm Candice for a possible discount or sth..

Looks like the link is no longer available, anyway this can be revived?

Yes it is not.

I just replied your other post ... I suppose you can do it.
