# nsProcess NSIS Plugin v1.6
**Versione personale modificata**
---
## Descrizione Originale
**2006 Shengalts Aleksander aka Instructor (Shengalts@mail.ru)**
Source function FIND_PROC_BY_NAME based upon the Ravi Kochhar (kochhar@physiology.wisc.edu) code.
Thanks iceman_k (FindProcDLL plugin) and DITMan (KillProcDLL plugin) for direct me.
NSIS UNICODE compatible version (1.6) by brainsucker.
## Features
- Find a process by name
- Kill all processes with specified name (not only one)
- Close all processes with specified name (first tries to close all process windows, waits for 3 seconds for process to exit, terminates if still alive)
- The process name is case-insensitive
- Win95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP/Win7 support
- Small plugin size (4 Kb)
- NSIS UNICODE support

## ⚠️ Differenze nella versione personale
### Nuova architettura supportata: x64 (amd64-unicode)
L'originale supportava solo:
- x86-ansi (Plugins\nsProcess.dll)
- x86-unicode (nsProcessW.dll da rinominare in nsProcess.dll)
La versione personale aggiunge il supporto per:
- **amd64-unicode** (x64)
### Progetto Visual Studio
L'originale includeva:
- `Source/nsProcess.sln` - Solution VS2008
- `Source/nsProcess.vcproj` - Progetto VS2008 (solo x86)
La versione personale converte a VS2022 con supporto x64:
- `nsProcess.sln` - Solution VS2022
- `nsProcess/nsProcess.vcxproj` - Progetto VS2022 (x86-ansi, x86-unicode, amd64-unicode)
### File aggiunti
- `build_plugin.py` - Script Python per compilare il plugin per tutte le architetture
- `nsis/` - Cartella con gli header NSIS per la compilazione:
- `api.h`, `crt.c`, `nsis_tchar.h`, `pluginapi.c`, `pluginapi.h`
### File rimossi
I file DLL precompilati sono stati rimossi dalla distribuzione:
- `Plugins/nsProcess.dll` (x86 ANSI)
- `nsProcessW.dll` (x86 UNICODE)
### Compilazione
```cmd
cd nsProcess
python build_plugin.py
```
I DLL vengono copiati in `plugins/{platform}/nsProcess.dll`.
### Modifiche funzionali
Nessuna modifica funzionale rispetto all'originale. Le modifiche riguardano solo l'infrastruttura di build e il supporto x64.
