The person asking the question wanted it in powershell but it should be easy to port it back to c#.

Subject: [wix-users] Another installer is already running

Hi,

Something I have been meaning to do it make my installer show a message and stop running if another installer is already running.  Is that something one can do?  I use a custom bootstrapper (C# .NET bootstrapper application).

Thanks,
Tyrel
