*sigh* life was never meant to be easy!

OR, as a last resort, tell the user to close MSN before the installation continues. not too nice though...

or he could use the TerminateProcess api call

look up on google for how to use it, im not sure but i think you may need to Open the Process first (OpenProcess api)

move the return value into a variable (a long in Visual basic which is probly what your coding in)
then Terminate with the variable you just filled and a "0"
