asking dll if specific exe is running
Hi im probably stupid for asking this but anyways...

Can someone tell how I check if a specific exe is running and if so popup a messagebox telling the user to kill that exe or abort the installation??


...Please :D

There are 2 plugins in the Archive. One designed to find a running process and one that will kill a running process. It sounds like you just want to find it and then if it is there then pop up a message ask them to close it.

Find Process By Name
http://nsis.sourceforge.net/archive/...75&instances=0

KillProcDLL
http://nsis.sourceforge.net/archive/...25&instances=0

I've used both so let me know if you need more specifics.
