How do I running process using process Id or process name and kill it

[testuser]

Hello,

In our product we do have one requirement in validation phase to find a process using process id or process name(sometimes we need to use id and sometime name) and then kill it, I tried Detect Active Application but it was returning 603 always, can you please help us?


Other question:
I have attached simple project to check if IE is running or not, i tried with other apps as well it is always returns 603, am I doing wrong somewhere?

Hello,

I have created a simple demo project. It detects if SB10.EXE (the SetupBuilder IDE) is active. Please compile:

Does this help?

See attached screenshot. I have compiled your original .sbp file. It reports that IE is running (in a LOOP until I end IE).

Hello,

I can see that on your machine the project for IE is running properly, but on my machine it always returns 603. I tried your project to check sb10.exe is running or not, even that is always saying sb10.exe is not running. please find attachment. is there something I am doing wrong? is there something related to OS(I am having win10)?

Hello,

to be honest, I have no idea. The return value comes directly from Windows. There is absolutely nothing we can do here (or even try to fix it) because it is native Windows functionality. What kind of Windows version is this? Windows 10 #2004?

I have uploaded a modified test app. What does it return on your machine?

Fixed one minute ago. I had access to a machine via TeamViewer and reproduced the issue. It's related to a specific Windows (update) patch level. More info soon.
