I use IS Pro 5.51

Perotin had suggested a way to check if the application is in use before reinstallation using Is( FILE_LOCKED, svApp ). Now if there are so many such exe's for that application and all of them are in Application Dir\Bin (thankfully) how will I check for one or more locked files in that directory? I thought adding an if condition for each and every file in that directory is not an elegant way. So I need to make it generic on any exe which is in the bin directory.

Thanks in advance.

Could this help you?

Code Sample

nReturn = FindAllFiles( szDir, "*.exe", svResult, RESET ); while( nReturn = 0 )    if( Is( FILE_LOCKED, svResult )) then       MessageBox( "Application in use, please close. Setup is cancelled.", WARNING );       abort;    endif;    nReturn = FindAllFiles( szDir, "*.exe", svResult, CONTINUE ); endwhile;
