I am currently trying to do a validation at the uninstall moment. In a Pascal script function, in Inno Setup, I want to search for a specific processes, with a wild card if possible. Then, loop through all find results, get the Image Name and Image Path Name, in order to check if the program that is about to be uninstalled is the same as the one running.
Is there a way to do that?
This is an exemplary task for WMI and its WQL language. Getting list of running processes through WMI is even more reliable than Windows API. The below example shows how to query the Win32_Process
class with the LIKE
operator:
[Setup]
AppName=My Program
AppVersion=1.5
DefaultDirName={pf}\My Program
DefaultGroupName=My Program
[Code]
type
TProcessEntry = record
PID: DWORD;
Name: string;
Description: string;
ExecutablePath: string;
end;
TProcessEntryList = array of TProcessEntry;
function GetProcessList(const Filter: string;
out List: TProcessEntryList): Integer;
var
I: Integer;
WQLQuery: string;
WbemLocator: Variant;
WbemServices: Variant;
WbemObject: Variant;
WbemObjectSet: Variant;
begin
Result := 0;
WbemLocator := CreateOleObject('WbemScripting.SWbemLocator');
WbemServices := WbemLocator.ConnectServer('localhost', 'root\CIMV2');
WQLQuery :=
'SELECT ' +
'ProcessId, ' +
'Name, ' +
'Description, ' +
'ExecutablePath ' +
'FROM Win32_Process ' +
'WHERE ' +
'Name LIKE "%'+ Filter +'%"';
WbemObjectSet := WbemServices.ExecQuery(WQLQuery);
if not VarIsNull(WbemObjectSet) and (WbemObjectSet.Count > 0) then
begin
Result := WbemObjectSet.Count;
SetArrayLength(List, WbemObjectSet.Count);
for I := 0 to WbemObjectSet.Count - 1 do
begin
WbemObject := WbemObjectSet.ItemIndex(I);
if not VarIsNull(WbemObject) then
begin
List[I].PID := WbemObject.ProcessId;
List[I].Name := WbemObject.Name;
List[I].Description := WbemObject.Description;
List[I].ExecutablePath := WbemObject.ExecutablePath;
end;
end;
end;
end;
procedure InitializeWizard;
var
S: string;
I: Integer;
Filter: string;
ProcessList: TProcessEntryList;
begin
MsgBox('Now we try to list processes containing "sv" in their names...',
mbInformation, MB_OK);
Filter := 'sv';
if GetProcessList(Filter, ProcessList) > 0 then
for I := 0 to High(ProcessList) do
begin
S := Format(
'PID: %d' + #13#10 +
'Name: %s' + #13#10 +
'Description: %s' + #13#10 +
'ExecutablePath: %s', [
ProcessList[I].PID,
ProcessList[I].Name,
ProcessList[I].Description,
ProcessList[I].ExecutablePath]);
MsgBox(S, mbInformation, MB_OK);
end;
end;
If not work.Please change as follows.
(old)
for I := 0 to High(ProcessList) do
(new)
for I := 0 to (GetArrayLength(ProcessList) - 1) do
