KillProcDLL
I'm new to all of this and have searched the forum for the answer to my question and couldn't find it.

I want to kill a process, and I found this:
http://nsis.sourceforge.net/archive/...php?pageid=271

I downloaded the plug-in and put it in the correct folder.

I added this line to the code:

  KillProcDLL::KillProc "process_name.exe"

Error: Can't add entry, no section or function is open!
Error in script "C:\Program Files\NSIS\Examples\aimskins.nsi" on line 26 -- aborting creation process

  KillProcDLL::KillProc "process_name.exe"

have you checked if the killproc function appears in the list at the top of the makensis output showing what functions from plugins are available to be used?

Does anyone know how to fix my problem?

Also, I have this as part of my script:

Section "Install (required)"

  SectionIn RO
  
  ; Set output path to the installation directory.
  SetOutPath $INSTDIR
  
  ; Put file there
  File "..\run.exe"
  
SectionEnd

The error message says exactly what's wrong. You can't use instructions outside of a section or a function, plug-in calls included.

Use Exec or ExecWait in .onInstSuccess to execute that program.
