How to create a Mutex on Win?

[Tiemo Hollmann TB]

Hello (Trevor),

 

I am using InnoSetup to update my app on Win. InnoSetup offers the feature
to check, if the app is still running before updating with Mutex.

I have found in the archives Trevors enhancedWin.dll to create a Mutex. My
questions:

1. Is there a Rev standard way to create a Mutex in the current versions?

2. Is Trevors dll still the appropriate way to do it?

3. What are the experiences out there with this external? Is it reliable,
does it still work on Vista and Win7?

 

Any experiences welcome

Thanks

Tiemo
