Not out of the box AFAIK. I've done this before with a background executive process that manages the installation

Would you mind sharing some insights as how to achieve this ? I meant about the background executive process
@carlw Sir, you were writing something, please share some of your wisdom 🙂

I used a polling mechanism to coordinate on a file. I also did something like this through the system tray to get a status going back and forth between the UI.
One java.exe call will create the executive which will launch the UI (and itself)
then, come up with whatever protocol you need to report what's going on
in my case, there was a heartbeat which was a timestamp. It can handle a "not responding" event. If the status hasn't changed in a while, you can make an assumption that the process is dead

Interesting
