Checking if the application is running before uninstall

Post by icaronz »

Hi,

I'm trying to check if my application is running before I uninstall it so I can pop up a message asking the user to close; but I can't find any information about how to do it.

Any help is appreciate.

Dear User,

you could use the "Check Process" command and then if the named process is running, use "Terminate Process" to stop it.
