Reading process information from an installscript

Hi,

I am working on a Basic MSI project with InstallShield 2008.
I need to define some custom actions which should be executed only if certain processes are running on the target computer.

Is there any simple way to do that?
I can find many VB examples to list the running processes on a machine.
There is one simple example here: http://computerperformance.co.uk/vbscript/wmi_process.htm

Is there something equivalent I could implement in an InstallScript?
Any inspiration would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

I have just managed to do it using WMI and retrieving the list of running processes from Win32_Process.
