Hi Little forest, I am also fighting with the same problem. Can you please help me ( if possible give me the example of the dll), how did you identified the running process. I had written a c# dll which gives me the status whether a given process is running or not. But my installer is giving an error * "The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is :2762"*
Here is my test code. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2003/01/wi";> <Product Id="{3911BB7E-BA7F-420a-9DEA-923A71520DE2}" Name="TestProduct" Language="1033" Version="1.0.0.0" Manufacturer="King's Company"> <Package Id="????????-????-????-????-????????????"
