Hello,
I create a detection process and a message box to warning the user that a software need to be close.
But this Software is outlook and i can't kill the process just like that.
It's possible to create a loop during the custom action " Detect process and messagebox " while the users close the outlook application himself ?
Best regards

Re: Loop for Detect Process
Hi,
To achieve this you can go in the "Custom Actions" page and add a "Detect process" custom action "without sequence" to detect if the process is running during the installation.
Then, follow the "How to make sure an edit box is not empty" tutorial, but do not create any edit box and use the "AI_PROCESS_STATE = "Running"" condition at step 8, instead of the "NOT MY_EDIT" condition.

Hi,
In order to add the "Dialogs" page in your project you can use the "Add/Remove" link from the bottom of that pane and select the page in the full list.
I'm afraid that if you want to achieve this from the "Custom Actions" page you need create your own custom action that check if the process is running and displays a message box until the users closes the process.

Re: Loop for Detect Process
Hi,
Indeed, that option is not available when you "Edit an MSI in Advanced Installer", but if you use the import it using the "Import MSI" feature the "Add/Remove" option and the "Dialogs" page will be available, too. However, in this case a new MSI package will be created, it will not modify the existing one.
I'm afraid that if you want to edit the existing MSI you will need to create your own custom action as I explained in a previous post.
