I do this sort of thing with a bit of VBScript.<br />
The package launches the script which uses WMI to check for the running process and from there makes the decision whether or not to do the next thing.<br />
<br />
For a more complex example, I've done packages where an app needs to be upgraded but the user might be running it. &nbsp;If it's not running, the script does the upgrade by calling the executable and passing silent parameters. &nbsp;If the task is already running then it alerts the user, asking them to close the app at their convenience. &nbsp;It then rechecks every ten seconds to see if it can run the upgrade and then afterwards tells the user all is OK. &nbsp;I also did one that would remind the user every ten minutes if they ignored the request.<br />
Of course there's always at least one user who closes the app and then shuts down, breaking the scripts flow - unless you have a re-run package on failure set to try again on next boot.
