Is there any way to build a package such that it can check if an

"This package contains a program that determines if the software
can be installed......"
The only related options I saw were to "Get Application" and "Quit
Application" but they do not stop the installer. For example if the
app has modified document and asks the user to save before
quitting, and the user does NOT quit, the installer still continues
as if everything is ok.
to do a wrapper is not an option (has to be an installer package)
Or, is there a way to do an pre-install/upgrade script that can
display a message that says an app is running and HAS to exit or
quit otherwise?
(the error result at that point seems to display an ugly "Install
Failed, the following install faild: run preinstall script
for......" with no way of telling the user why or that they should
quit the app and try again)
I would think that this is too common of an issue to not be
addressed, but so far I cant seem to find any descent solution to
this.
If you use a distribution script, you can "code" a script to inform
the user that the application is running and only allow him to quit
the installer in that case.
