Hard one. Uninstalling applications that are running
Scenario.

I am releasing a new version of an application. The application is a continuously running application.

When releasing the newest version I have tried running the uninstall first and the installing. But it would not delete the running application so that the new one can take its place. Is there a way top remove an application that is?

A kill perhaps? Or force remove?

Thanx for any feedback.

you can't force the removal.
but you can kill the application.
there are several topics 'bout this in the wiki, go searching :)

You can update file after reboot. Use rename or delete instruction with "/rebootok" parameter.
