Force close application in Windows CE using C ++

Question

How can I make an application, say myapp.exe, close using C ++ in Windows CE from another application?

The scenario is that I have a previous installation of some software that does not behave properly when upgrading to a new version. Therefore, I have to kill the process (from upgrade) to continue the upgrade.

If this fails (and only after its failure), you can use the toolhelp API to search for the process (create a snapshot using NOHEAPS, then iterate to find it using First / Next calls) and terminate it using T erminateProcess .
