Kill another program

[NewsArchive]

I have a program, that makes some printerfiles etc, that again is run by a
program called server.exe.
Problem is, that the printerdriver cannot make two prints at the same time.
When my program has made a printerfile, server.exe immideately starts to
process it.
So, I need to kill server.exe meanwhile I run my program.
To start it again is easy, run([Pathname]\server.exe).
But how to stop it... Wat I need is something like Kill(server.exe)

Hi Edvard,

Write a "helper" application with SetupBuilder to "kill" that application.
Create a Blank Script and use the "Terminate Active Application..."
function.

I have attached a simple SetupBuilder script and the source code to handle
this.

Compile the script and use the following to "kill" an active server.exe

killapp server.exe

BTW, you can compile this project "asInvoker" so it does not display an
elevation prompt under Vista/2008. This KillApp application also works
under Vista/2008.

Hi Friedrich!
You told me some time ago, that SetUpbuilder too was used as a programming
language.
This is really an example of 'How to' - Does exactly what I need.
Thanks
