Versions:
Process Prompt 1.1.0 by Cjwdev is a lightweight utility created to close a gap in automated software-deployment workflows: it gives administrators a way to ensure that target workstations have shut down specific applications before an installation or upgrade script is allowed to proceed. Designed to sit between mainstream deployment engines such as Microsoft SCCM and the actual installer, the program parses an administrator-generated XML configuration at runtime, checks the process table for any number of named executables, and, when matches are found, presents the logged-on user with a clear on-screen prompt that lists the friendly display names of the programs that must be closed. The prompt can be time-boxed; if the user does not comply within the configured interval, the tool can optionally force-terminate the lingering processes before returning control to the deployment task. Return codes are fully customizable, allowing the calling deployment system to branch appropriately on success, user cancellation, timeout, or unexpected error. Visibility of an optional progress window and post-deployment notification balloon is likewise controlled from the same XML file, which is produced through an included graphical configuration editor that embeds context-sensitive help for every switch. Because the executable is self-contained and needs no agent, it drops easily into existing task sequences or packages without elevating security risk. The single public release, version 1.1.0, is catalogued under System Utilities / Launchers & Task Automation and is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources (e.g. winget), always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
