So I'm in *love* with this installer... free & easy to use and I love it.

So I'm thinking of corner cases, and when the user tries to uninstall our application when it is running, the uninstaller should shut it down, tell it to quit before uninstalling... otherwise they are left with the executable installed on their computer.

Does anyone know a simple & easy way to do this for the NSIS installer?

Thanks!
