How to kill process that may not exist on prebuild step in Visual studio?

Question

Problem is if this process doesn\'t exist, build fails. I try to write something like this

tasklist /nh /fi \"imagename eq XDesProc.exe\" | find /i \"XDesPro         


        

Answer 1

You could use a conditional test on the PID to avoid this:

  taskkill /f /fi "pid gt 0" /im xdesproc.exe
