I have a simple Visual Studio MSI project.
I want to HALT the installation if I detect a running program of a certain type (e.g. “aaa.exe”) and wait until the user closes it before proceeding.
how do I do that?

Generally speaking, have you considered the Restart Manager?
Restart Manager should automatically detect open files/handles-to-files that are are going to be updated by the .MSI and gracefully stop/restart them.
