I tried packaging service pack 2 for the machines that are already installed with ms office 2007 service pack .

office2007sp2-kb953195-fullfile-en-us.exe

I created a wise script to install the service pack with PASSIVE and NORESTART commandline switches.

Eg: office2007sp2-kb953195-fullfile-en-us.exe /passive /norestart

The Dragonsoft website has some sample Wisescripts that include one which checks for running processes using a DLL call.
So it is possible to check running processes with Wisescript, although it's usually easier to use a few lines of WMI code to test if a particular app is running - Bill MacEachern has posted an example WMI script many times in the Wise forums, so maybe one of those instances has made it over into these forums.

can i get the code for vbscript to install? certainly i can google it and write my own. Having said that, i do not want o mess up with my vbscripting skills.
If you have a ready made script, please do post it.

I'm very much interedted in learning Wise script but my priority here is the vbscript wrapper.

Thank you for your comments.

you can use the following code to look for OUTLOOK.EXE process and inform the user to close it.

'-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Set wshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set objwmisvc = GetObject("winmgmts:" & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer &"\root\cimv2")

Set process = objwmisvc.ExecQuery ("Select * from Win32_Process Where Name = 'OUTLOOK.EXE'")
Do 
        For Each cprocess In process
              'POPUP message box to the user
             MsgBox "Please close OUTLOOK" 
      Next
      Set process = objwmisvc.ExecQuery ("Select * from Win32_Process Where Name = 'OUTLOOK.EXE'")
Loop While (process.Count <> 0)
'-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can emedd the above script in your main script...

Check the following post,
i wrote wrapper install scripts both in vbscript as well as wise script. These wrapper scripts can install the application after checking for specified process. Feel free to edit it according to your requirement.
