Terminate method

Terminates the process.

Type

None

Remarks

Terminate method will silently kill the process, without giving him a chance to gratefully close and save his data. This may be needed if same DLL (or other type of file) that you wish to update is locked by other process, and it doesn't want to close itself on your Close method call.

Terminate method call will not return any errors no matter if termination was successful or not. If your application does not have administrative privileges, it is very likely that you will not be able to kill the process. In that case you can try setting GlobalTerminate property to True so process is killed later, with admin privileges.

Please note that your own application will be listed if it locks certain DLL you plan to update. However, calling Terminate on it will result in error 30012 (cannot terminate yourself).
