Installer-dev mailing list (Installer-dev@lists.apple.com) Help/Unsubscribe/Update your Subscription: http://lists.apple.com/mailman/options/installer-dev/site_archiver%40lists.a... Is there any way to build a package such that it can check if an application is running and quit the installer if so (after letting user know) without having to add scripts that would cause the installer to display: "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. 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.
