Hi, I am trying to figure out how to see if my application is currently running on the network. It is not a client/server application. I want to know this so that when I come to do an installation/upgrade I can detect that the application is already running and prevent the installation from ocurring. I have already looked into CreateMutex and this works well if I am running the application on the same machine as I am running the installation, but not when I am running the installation from a different machine as the application. Thanks in advance Regards Trevor Keegan
