If I close the program by close program action but the program is not running, where can I found this information?

Hmmm...why do you need to close a program if it already is not running?

Hi

My product use Sybase SQL Anywhere 5.5.05 build #2509. I would like to update it on my users to 5.5.05 build #2817. When my user installation is client/server and the server side are on Win9x the Anywhere Server run a program not a service. The Anywhere Server running by service on NT.
When my users start update installation process, the setup check the Anywhere Server running. If it's running, the setup try stop it. Stop the service on NT, close the program on Win9x. But so setup don't stop it, ask user to do stop it manual. But only then it running.
I have query NT service status in SF, but I can't do it about Win9x program.
I hope you understand me.

Sincerely
Laslie

Re: Close program action

Ah...so you want the user to close the program manually in Win9x?

In that case, use the Close Program action, and under "If Program Is Running," select the "Tell the user to close the program" option.

If the program is running, the user will be asked to close it; if the program is not running, the action won't do anything at all.

Hi Mark!

Therefore I need close the program (SQL Anywhere Server), because I can't update it if it's running. But I would like to take information, that the program is not running such ast the Close Program Action successfully close the program (%LastErrorNum% = 0). For example: %LastErrorNum% = 2.
Is it possible.
