Check if Multiple processes are running

The Toolkit General Discussion

Hi,
I’m using the below Script to detect whether winword is Running, so that the End user can close the program prior to a software install. is there a way I can check for other running programs in the same script? such as excel,outlook,MSaccess,OneNote,POWERPNT.

Many thanks

$DLGProcesses = @(Get-WmiObject -Query “select * FROM Win32_process WHERE name=‘Winword.exe’” -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue)
if ($DLGProcesses.Count -eq 0) {
Try {
Write-Output “Office is not started, we can run the installation in session 0”
Start-Process Deploy-Application.exe -Wait -ArgumentList ‘-DeployMode “NonInteractive”’
}
Catch {
$ErrorMessage = $.Exception.Message
$ErrorMessage
}
}
else {
Try {
Write-Output “Office is started, we need to run the installation in session 1, ServiceUI.exe”
.\ServiceUI.exe -process:explorer.exe Deploy-Application.exe
}
Catch {
$ErrorMessage = $.Exception.Message
$ErrorMessage
}

}
##Write-Ouput “Exit Code of Installation is: $LASTEXITCODE”
exit $LASTEXITCODE

Hi Steve,

yes you can use the internal function from psadt: Show-InstallationWelcome to close multiple processes e.g. Office Suite etc.

Check AppDeployToolkitHelp.ps1 for details.
