How to close Outlook 2003 w/vbs

[KRPGroup]

I am trying to close Outlook 2003 before allowing an install to run. This use to work with OL2000 but now doesn't work with OL2003. Excel 2000 is closing fine, any suggestions?

GetObject(Outlook.Application).Quit
GetObject(,"Excel.Application").Quit

I was trying a few combations but originally the code was: GetObject(,"Outlook.Application").Quit

I would use WMI to enumerate running processes and kill all Outlook.exe processes.

I hope you find this post helpful.

Will that be a clean close of Outlook?

I pretty weak at scripting and not sure how to what you have suggested?

Is there some samples you can point me to?
