Hi All,

  

Our PowerBuilder Application (PB 2021 Build 1506 ) is not able to check if outlook.exe is open 
with the Apps for Enterprise (new version of Office that M365) installed on a user machine.

Our code is checking if Outlook is open prior to opening an email in a compose mode (send, reply or import) mode 
but instead get the following error message:

users get the error message: "Microsoft Outlook is not available"

Please provide any suggestions.


*Reproduce Steps:

Install Office M365 outlook and run the script below:

/*code start*/
nvo_process lnvo_process  /*non visual user objected, not inherited from any ancestors. code attached for this object*/

lb_outlook_running = lnvo_process.of_is_process_running("outlook.exe")
If Not lb_outlook_running Then 
   Messagebox("Outlook Error","Microsoft Outlook is not available " + "~r~nPlease open your 
   Microsoft Outlook to Continue with Emails Reply or Import!")
 Return
End If
/*code end*/
Remarks: 

1. This code works find in we downgrade office back to Office 2016.
2. Office 365 once installed still have the executable for outlook called "outlook.exe"


/*Code of the nvo_process non visual user object not inherited*/
Declaration Local External Function:
Function Boolean EnumProcesses(REF processEntry Process, long cb, REF long cbNeeded ) Library "PSAPI.DLL"

Code for of_is_process_running:


// of_is_process_running
ProcessEntry pe_Process // Window structure (array of 500 ulong)

long ll_size_of_process = 2000 // Size of Process
long ll_size_of_module = 400 // Size of Module
long ll_needed_size_of_process // returned size of Process
long ll_needed_size_of_module // returned size of Module

long ll_resName // size of returned name of the module
long li_cnt // for looping through processes
int li_total // for looping through processes
long ll_process_found

boolean lb_resultP // return codes for EnumProcesses and EnumProcessModules
boolean lb_resultM

string ls_module_name // Name of the module

    li_total = integer(ll_needed_size_of_process / 4)
   FOR li_cnt = 1 TO li_total
     iul_HandleP[li_cnt] = OpenProcess(PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS, FALSE, &
     pe_Process.lpIdProcess[li_cnt])
     lb_resultM = EnumProcessModules(iul_HandleP[li_cnt], me_Module, &
    ll_size_of_module, ll_needed_size_of_module)
    IF ll_needed_size_of_module >= 4 THEN
      IF GetProcessMemoryInfo(iul_HandleP[li_cnt], pmc, 40) THEN
         ls_module_name = Space(254)
        ll_resName = GetModuleBaseNameA(iul_HandleP[li_cnt], &
        me_Module.lpidmodule[1], ls_module_name, 254)
       IF Trim(Lower(ls_module_name)) = Trim(Lower(ls_process_to_find)) THEN
         ll_process_found ++
       END IF
     END IF
  END IF
    CloseHandle(iul_HandleP[li_cnt])
 NEXT

 IF ll_process_found > 0 THEN
   RETURN TRUE
 ELSE
   RETURN FALSE
 END IF

   RETURN FALSE
