Hi!

I need to know if the Windows Installer is currently in use...

I know that the error "ERROR_INSTALL_ALREADY_RUNNING" exist, but I want to
get this information without using a msi file that run and get the error...

Is the a way to ask MSI if something is currently installing...?

I really need to know this information...

I need a kind of function that return true if the MSI is currently running...

Thanks a lot!
