Detect if a process is running You can detect if a process is running by using a 'Detect Process' predefined custom action. This custom action can be added at any point in the installation. If you want it to run at the beginning of the install process, you can schedule it before 'Wizard Dialogs Stage' - 'Searches'. It should also be dragged before 'Install Execution Stage' - 'Searches' while the SHIFT key is pressed to make sure that it runs even if there is no UI. Since it uses installer properties, this custom action can only run as Immediate.

After adding the custom action, in its page the Process Name field should be set to the name of the process you want to detect. When the custom action runs, it will set the AIPROCESSSTATE property to one of these values:.

Running - the process is running. Stopped - the process is stopped (no process with the name you specified is currently running) The AIPROCESSSTATE property can be used as a in order to stop the installation if a process is running. Stop a process In order to stop a running process, you can use a 'Terminate Process' predefined custom action.

If you want the custom action to run in the beginning of the installation, you can schedule it before 'Wizard Dialogs Stage' - 'Searches'. It should also be dragged before 'Install Execution Stage' - 'Searches' while the SHIFT key is pressed to make sure it runs even if there is no UI. In this case the custom action should use the 'Execute only once if present in both sequence tables' option in the page.

After adding the custom action, in its 'Custom Action Properties' page, the Process Name field should be set to the name of the process you want to stop. Stopping a process may require Administrator privileges. In this case, the custom action should be configured to run as Deferred with no impersonation. Since deferred custom actions can only run after 'Preparing' action group, your custom action should be scheduled accordingly.

There are some ways to do this. Such as using a external DLL.But I do not like this way. The Inno surport Pascal script. The Pascal script can call standard Win32 API functions inside standard Windows DLLs. So we can check the app is whether running. Here is a part of script in section:; Any question, let me know.;It work on 32 and 64 modules!
