Closing a particular java applpication

[hans]

What is the step to close a particular Java application? (launched via java.exe or javaw.exe)

I do not wish to close all running Java processes, just the one for a particular app (during install, upgrade or uninstall)

thank you for a quick response.

However, how do I discern between several instance of java.exe?

I just want to close the one running "MyApp.jar"

Hello,

The Advanced Installer "Terminate Process" predefined custom action can only stop a process by its name.

You can launch the your java application from the Java Products page and set the launcher's name to your application's .JAR name.

Here is the tutorial from our user guide that can help you.

Best,
