Detecting a running process

[zeiddev]

I have been following the instructions in the help file for "How do I detect or stop a process?" but I cannot seem to get it to work.

Either it always complains that my process is running or it never complains.

I created the custom action and put my process name in the process name box. I then go to the launch conditions and put as my condition:

AI_PROCESS_STATE = "Running"

This always says the process is running no matter. I have tried different permutations of this but cannot seem to get it right.

Thanks

Hi David,

When a launch condition is added, the package will be installed only if that condition is "True". For example, if you want to install the package only if a process is stopped, you can use the following condition: NOT (AI_PROCESS_STATE = "Running").

If this doesn't work, can you please send us the .AIP (project file) and a verbose log of the installation to support at advancedinstaller dot com so we can investigate them?

Best regards,

Thank you I must have tried all different permutations except for that one. This appears to have fixed it.

Thanks
