It looks like the VB solution only checks for previously run instances of the application. What about instances started after this one? Should this be a problem and should we choose to keep this task, it should be corrected. --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 21:36, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
: The common case requiring detection of multiple instances are running is to prevent multiple instances of a program from accessing app-global resources. That's probably what the author of the VB solution had in mind. The task author should probably clarify the task's intent and requirements. --[[User:Short Circuit|Short Circuit]] 02:05, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
The purpose is as you say for the detection of multiple instances for the purpose of preventing conflicting access to global resources. I would expect the first instance of the task to not detect another instance, whereas subsequent instances (duplicate instances of the same task) detect a previous instance already running and abort with an error message.
