Well, I think the easier way to perform this may be creating a DLL in Delphi that detects if your program is running and ask the user to close it, put that DLL in your setup and use the flag "dontcopy" (check in http://www.jrsoftware.org/ishelp/ under Pascal Scripting \ Using DLLs for an example).

Btw, next time use mutexes, Inno Setup also support that and is far more easier.
