Inno Setup is a free installer for Windows programs by Jordan Russell and Martijn Laan. First introduced in 1997, Inno Setup today rivals and even surpasses many commercial installers in feature set and stability. Features Learn more about what Inno Setup can do.

Note, however, that this is not an Inno Setup-specific limitation; Windows Installer-based installers cannot return to the original user credentials either in such cases. This flag cannot be combined with the runascurrentuser flag. Inno Setup FAQ; Create Installer Automatically with IDE Scripting. For a more automated build process you can use an IDE Script Build Step to run Inno Setup with your installer script after each build. To do this, add an IDE Script step to your project and drag it after the 'Build' item in the Windows build settings.
Inno Setup: How to close a program before reinstalling it
As a software developer, I love Inno Setup! It is a wonderful, powerful, free software-deployment tool. I’ve tweaked my programs’ Inno Setup scripts to accomplish certain important, but tricky tasks.
Most recently, I looked for a way to check if a program is running (and to close that program) when we’re about to install a new version. I found an existing script which checks to see if a program is running and exits the installation if it is (after first displaying an error message in a message box.) It was very helpful in presenting the basic concept. However, I wanted the script to give the user the opportunity of closing the target program and continuing with the installation, rather than aborting the whole process. The resulting, expanded script accomplishes this. It includes documentation and groups basic customization options close together, so you can easily adapt the script for your own installers.
To test the script’s resulting installer, open up a Notepad window and leave it open before running the installer (or uninstaller.)
Orange Lamp Kill Process
You’ll need the following resources to compile this script:
- PSVince (the DLL with the function to determine if a given application is running)
- the script (a.k.a. “Prompt to Close the Program”, which you can download or copy-and-paste from the text below)
You can also download a compiled, executable version to see it in action before deciding whether to adapt it for your own needs.
