Kill the background process
Hi All,
After my product is installed, a console utility runs in the background. Because of this, when uninstall the product, this utility can't be uninstalled. I want to solve this problem with InstallScript: firstly I find out the utility process, then kill it. Does anybody know what function is available for doing these two things?
