Question

I have a loader.exe with Main() that loads the ‘UI’ in WPF, the thing is that I want only one instance of the loader.exe, how can I achieve it?

Is there a way a user clicks loader.exe it should check if an existing loader.exe is running and does nothing.

currently I have

loader.exe

with

main()  .... .. Load UI ... 

the loader has no idea what its loading etc so I can’t do many things with the loader project…

Any help n code is highly appreciated

Thanks in advance.

We use the following C# code to detect if an application is already running:

using System.Threading;  string appSpecificGuid = '{007400FE-003D-00A5-AFFE-DA62E35CC1F5}';     bool exclusive; Mutex m = new Mutex(true, appSpecificGuid, out exclusive); if (exclusive) {     // run } else {     // already running }
