Hard one. Uninstalling applications that are running

6th July 2005, 13:43

Scenario.

I am releasing a new version of an application. The application is a continuously running application.

When releasing the newest version I have tried running the uninstall first and the installing. But it would not delete the running application so that the new one can take its place. Is there a way top remove an application that is?

A kill perhaps? Or force remove?

Thanx for any feedback.

James

You can update file after reboot. Use rename or delete instruction with "/rebootok" parameter.
