INTRODUCTION

	The Need For Plug-in - I need it for the one of my installers.
	
	Briefly: Use it when you need to find\kill a process when
installing\uninstalling some application. Also, use it when you 
need to test the presence of a device driver.


SUPPORT
	
	Supported platforms are: WinNT,Win2K,WinXP and Win2003 Server.


DESCRIPTION

	Processes::FindProcess <process_name.exe>
	
		Searches the currently running processes for the given
		process name.
		
		return:	1	- the process was found
				0	- the process was not found
	
	Processes::KillProcess <process_name.exe>
	
		Searches the currently running processes for the given
		process name. If the process is found then the it gets
		killed.
		
		return:	1	- the process was found and killed
				0	- the process was not found or the process
						cannot be killed (insuficient rights)
	
	Processes::FindDevice <device_base_name>
	
		Searches the installed devices drivers for the given
		device base name.
		(important: I said BASE NAME not FILENAME)
		
		return:	1	- the device driver was found
				0	- the device driver was not found
				

USAGE

	First of all, does not matter where you use it. Ofcourse, the
routines must be called inside of a Section/Function scope.

	Processes::FindProcess "process_name.exe"
	Pop $R0
 
	StrCmp $R0 "1" make_my_day noooooo
	
	make_my_day:
		...
	
	noooooo:
		...
		
	
	Processes::KillProcess "process_name.exe"
	Pop $R0
 
	StrCmp $R0 "1" dead_meat why_wont_you_die
	
	dead_meat:
		...
	
	why_wont_you_die:
		...
		

	Processes::FindDevice "device_base_name"
	Pop $R0
 
	StrCmp $R0 "1" blabla more_blabla
	
	blabla:
		...
	
	more_blabla:
		...
