I just started using the taskill thing in the format:

taskkill.exe /F /IM example.exe

I have noticed that if i try to use it in an .inf file, it retrurns and error for invalid parameters.

I'm not sure why this is happening but think its because in a .inf things dont wait for completion - in other words if I tell it to install, say for example isobuster, the install completes before the isobuster.exe file starts up and as a result the install complete is returned and the taskkill starts up before the isobuster.exe process does so as a result there is no isobuster task to kill when taskkill starts and the error is returned - if any of this makes sense.

Anyway, if I do it with the start wait thing from a batch file, it works perfectly. I thought about just calling a single batch file from the .inf to take care of the taskkill problem and just let everything for it be done in the batch. Which kinda makes sense cause I know it works in a batch file.

Anyone have any suggestions for use of taskkill in an .inf file?
