Hi, can anyone help me with killing a running exe identified by its
path and as a second killing all running exe's identified by its name.

I found some code for Delphi, to get started but could not make it
work.

any help is highly appreciated

thx.

What is not working?
If you are looking for tlhelp32, fpc includes JwaTlHelp32 which is the
jedi port of tlhelp32. Adding windows,JwaTlHelp32 to the uses clause
and KillTask works fine.

TProcessEntry32.szExeFile is not the full path of the exe but only the
filename. If you need the full path you need to use also Module32First
and TModuleEntry32.szExePath
A C example can be found at the bottom of
