 | Hi all,
Currently I'm developing an app which stays on the system tray (stays
running by default). The problem is when I'd like to do an update, it cannot
replace the EXE because it's currently running. Is there an easy way from
Innosetup to terminate it gracefully prior to an update?

| Thats something you have to build into your app.
So maybe you can pass it a parameter to stop it.
From Inno you can issue that parameter and then continue with
Setup.
Alternatively you can creat an AppMutex inside your app. Then tell Inno
about the AppMutex and manually tell the user to shut it down
if it is detected by Inno.
