Hi,

I'm making an InstallShield package which needs to shut down some processes. For XP installations I use taskkill.exe which works fine. For older Windows versions I thought kill.exe would be a good choice. However it won't work. I've also tried calling kill.exe in a command prompt but this just hangs, using 90+ % resources.

I'm doing it like this: kill -f processname

I'm doing it on XP but I don't think that should be a problem.

Any hints please?

Lars
