Richard, have at look at pv.exe http://makemsi-manual.dennisbareis.com/pv_exe.htm
this is a small command that you can run as a shell and it then gives you a list of processes as well as the option to kill all or any of them. This works fine in all flavours of windows, what I do is copy pv.exe into a custom property, then extract it into the default directory, check for multiple processes with the name of my process then tidy up and close down.
