I added a custom action that calls an installscript method and prevents the installer from installing or removing/modifying the package if the software is already installed and running actively on the users machine. But if you go to add/remove and choose repair from the control panel it WILL allow you to repair the software while it is open. It seems like this would not be desirable behavior. Is there anyway to prevent this through the installshield project?

Windows Installer should show a prompt if any file that it needs to overwrite is locked.
But your custom action to block the installer if the applciation is running should work even from add/remove programs - if sequenced properly (that is: in the InstallExecute sequence)
