Re: Cant replace the executable for auto upgradation when itsexecuting

But you dont get to change your mind at that point... its either quit the running app, or force quit the installer. isn't that right?

You can check from a preinstall (Flat packages) or preflight (bundle
package) script if an application is running and only displays the
dialog in this case. This is what the iTunes and Safari installer do
IIRC.

that the ugliest and the most confusing script warning would popup to the
screen when ever you launch your installer (before you can even check if the
app is running)... Now if things changed and this can be done without that
'script warning' I'd also like to know about it :)
