Unable to kill getwizpnp.exe subprocess on Windows #3

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
On Windows when running from pythonw.exe, the getwizpnp.exe subprocess has 
proven troublesome to kill (i.e if you want to pause or stop a download). I've 
had to fallback to using the taskkill.exe program that is included in most 
recent versions of Windows (XP and later). Taskkill.exe is not included in 
Windows XP Home edition and I don't know if it is included in Windows Vista/7 
basic/home/starter editions. 

If this is an issue, an alternative is to download PsTools?.zip from 
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896683 and extract PsKill.exe 
to somewhere on your PATH. YARDWiz will then attempt to use pskill instead.
