Archive: Show Installer in Taskbar


Show Installer in Taskbar
Is this possible? I am trying to come up with a solution when user tries to run two instances of the installer at same time. I am using a mutex to check for first instance and then show warning message, then abort second instance.

However, after this happens the first instance is not visible to the user anymore. The user would have to know to use Alt-Tab to get to first instance, or close windows that are hiding the install window. There is no visual feedback to inform user that first instance exists.


Sorry for the post. The installer DOES show in the taskbar AFTER GuiInit. I do the instance checking in GuiInit. I was testing for double-instances without allowing the first installer to complete GuiInit. So nothing was showing.

Sorry again. It is a long day.
