Introduction
The Need For Plug-in - I need it for the one of my installers.
Briefly: Use it when you need to find\kill a process when installing\uninstalling some application. Also, use it when you need to test the presence of a device driver.
Support
Supported platforms are: WinNT,Win2K,WinXP and Win2003 Server.
DLL Functions
Processes::FindProcess "process_name"
Searches the currently running processes for the given process name.
return:
- 1 - the process was found
- 0 - the process was not found
Processes::KillProcess "process_name"
Searches the currently running processes for the given process name. If the process is found then the it gets killed.
return:
- 1 - the process was found and killed
- 0 - the process was not found or the process cannot be killed (insufficient rights)
Processes::FindDevice "device_base_name"
Searches the installed devices drivers for the given device base name(important: I said BASE NAME not FILENAME).
return:
- 1 - the device driver was found
- 0 - the device driver was not found
Usage
First of all, does not matter where you use it. Of course, the routines must be called inside of a Section/Function scope.
Processes::FindProcess "process_name" ;without ".exe" Pop $R0 StrCmp $R0 "1" make_my_day noooooo make_my_day: ... noooooo: ... Processes::KillProcess "process_name" ;without ".exe" Pop $R0 StrCmp $R0 "1" dead_meat why_wont_you_die dead_meat: ... why_wont_you_die: ... Processes::FindDevice "device_base_name" Pop $R0 StrCmp $R0 "1" blabla more_blabla blabla: ... more_blabla: ...
Thanks
Sunil Kamath for inspiring me. I wanted to use its FindProcDLL but my requirements made it imposible.
Nullsoft for creating this very powerful installer. One big, free and full-featured (hmmm... and guiless for the moment) mean install machine!:)
ME for being such a great coder... ... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
