I needed new functionality in my PowerShell install script (previously mentioned here). I needed the ability to make sure a process is not running, and if it is running, I could prompt the user to close it.
The new function takes the process name value from the config xml file (as I mentioned in previos post) and if it is running, displays a message box until the program is no longer running.
Function WaitForProcessToStop ($Step){ $ProcessName= ($Step.ProcessName.Value).split(".")[0] if ($ProcessName -ne "") { [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("System.Windows.Forms") While (get-process $ProcessName -ea SilentlyContinue | select -Property Responding) { [System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox]::Show( "Please close $ProcessName", "Please close $ProcessName", [System.Windows.Forms.MessageBoxButtons]::OK, [System.Windows.Forms.MessageBoxIcon]::Information, [System.Windows.Forms.MessageBoxDefaultButton]::Button1, [System.Windows.Forms.MessageBoxOptions]::ServiceNotification ) } } }
