Using FindWindow
I almost never used the FindWindow command. So a somewhat old NSIS script can not be compiled

This is the old FindWindow:
FindWindow "prompt" "Winamp 1.x" "You must close Winamp before continuing with the install process"

I read the 1.91 documentation and it says I have to use both FindWindow and SendMessage. How do I use them ?

this is from the functions.htm file located in your NSIS dir.
