Determine an app is runging?

ipauly · 1st August 2003, 05:50

Hi! I wanna determine whether an old version of my application is running before the setup process. Because its caption is changed dynamic, I want to detect whether the Mutex is in RAM, but how? I created it with the API function CreateMuteX. I know I can do it by sytem:call..., but it's better to add a special function in NSIS.

Currently, you will have to use System plugin to get the program Mutex.

These may help you:
