IssProc

Files In Use functionality is among the countless services that Windows Installer exposes for setup authors to leverage for their application install/maintenance.

IssProc will allow you to setup authors display the processes that hold on to files that would be updated by this install.

The user would want to shut those processes before continuing with the install to ensure that the install wouldn't require a reboot.

Now you can do the same thing with Inno Setup avoiding unnecessary reboots when installing your application exe files / plugins / shell extensions / ocx etc with Files In Use Extension for Inno Setup.

Here are some key features of "IssProc":

￭ small size (it will add less than 20KB to your setup. ) ￭ multi-language support (you can add or modify the language file) ￭ multiple file search (a semicolon list with exe/dll/ocx names and path can be used) ￭ wildcard file match ( * = matches any characters, zero or more times ; ? = matches any character, one time ) ￭ exact folder match (detect if your file is in use only from a specified folder ) ￭ applications exe names will be listed not just their description ￭ easy to use

Requirements:

￭ InnoSetup 4.x, 5.x
