Hello,
I'm currently trying to create a Symantec software package for deployment across the network. I created the package using the .msi file and then another package using the .exe file. However, when I test each of these two packages with the command `wapt-get install ...`, I get the following error:
CRITICAL Unable to set param runstatus: OperationalError: attempt to write a readonly database
FATAL ERROR: OperationalError: attempt to write a readonly database
Thank you in advance for your help.
Error creating package

This message indicates that you are either not an administrator or you have User Account Control (UAC) enabled. For package creation, it is recommended to use a virtual machine with an administrator account and UAC disabled.
If you are on a regular user machine, you can switch to administrator privileges by running: `runas /user:administrator cmd.exe`. Afterward, you should be able to run the `wapt-get install` command from the command line.
The WAPT service itself runs under the "local system" account and can perform the installation even if users have restricted rights and UAC is enabled.
Sincerely,
Denis Cardon

Thank you for your reply.
However, when testing the package, I get the following message:

This error is a return code from the MSI itself. Simply running a silent installation is not enough to ensure the software installs. Have you tried the command `Sep.msi /q /norestart` directly in a command prompt?
