Avoiding multiple instances of a running Rev app

[Paul Williams]

Richard,
have at look at pv.exe
http://makemsi-manual.dennisbareis.com/pv_exe.htm

this is a small command that you can run as a shell and it then gives you a 
list of processes as well as the option to kill all or any of them.

This works fine in all flavours of windows, what I do is copy pv.exe into a 
custom property, then extract it into the default directory, check for multiple 
processes with the name of my process then tidy up and close down.

Hope that helps
