Is a programm running in memory ?

clary · 14th January 2004, 16:21

Hi all,

I'd like to test in my NSIS code, if a programm is running or not in memory.
I can see my programm running in the tasks window when I do CTRL-ALT-SUP on my computer.
Is it possible to detect if a programm such "Sunftp.exe" is runing on my computer ?

Thanks a lot for your answers.

the FindWindow command is what you are looking for, there are several threads about it in the forum and in the archive. hope this helps.

If it's your own application you may want to set a mutex (see the FAQ).
