I wish to add a feature to my installer which detects if a certain application is running, and then presents the user with a message asking them to quit all instances of the application or abort installation. I'm new to wix development, but I've searched on this subject and although I've seen a few messages asking about this type of functionality, I haven't seen any finished solutions on how to do this so I have a few questions:
-Some of the postings I've read have said that in v2 a custom action was needed, but in v3 there is something like this built in. If so, what is it? I haven't been able to find it. Is there something like this built into v3? (That's the version I'm using) -If there isn't anything which checks for running applications already built into wix v3.0, I can write my own custom action, but before I do, has anyone already written a 'check for running application' custom application? If there is I don't want to reinvent the wheel. -I'm new to wix but I have read the docs (or at least some of them). It seems like what I'm trying to do would fall into the "standard custom action" category, yet I don't see anything listed on the standard custom actions page (http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/standard_customactions.htm). If anyone can suggest some tips on where to look, I'd appreciate it. If I can't find anything I'll write my own custom action, but if something like this already exists I'd prefer to use something that already works.
