Detect and prompt to close a running application during install

Hi there,

When installing some 3rd party products, I've seen a screen that lists currently running programs that need to be closed before install can continue. Is this something InstallShield comes with? If yes, could someone please point me to the right direction?

Basically, I'm packaging a plugin for an application already installed on user's workstation. If during install user has the main application running, I would like notify him to close it.

Thanks.

Use "IS" function which will give information whether application running or not. then use SendMessage for closing the application. It should be work
