SVGView Package

[Mugit]

Good morning,

Has anyone ever tried to create an Adobe SVGView package?

I'm having a problem: the application installs correctly with the "PyScripter" editor, but when I deploy the package, it doesn't install. Do you have any idea what might be causing this problem?

I am not receiving any error messages.

chemin_dir=makepath(programfiles32,"Common Files","Adobe","SVG Viewer 3.0")

chemin_application=makepath(programfiles32,"Common Files","Adobe","SVG Viewer 3.0")

chemin_Uninstall=makepath(programfiles32,"Common Files","Adobe","SVG Viewer 3.0","Uninstall","Winstall.exe")

def install():


    version_install=get_file_properties("SVGView.exe")["ProductVersion"]
    print(Timelog, "Version pret a etre installer",version_install)


    if isdir(chemin_dir):
        print(Timelog,"l'application est deja installée")
        for soft in installed_softwares(name="Adobe SVG"):
            print(Timelog,"Version deja installée",soft["version"])
            print(Timelog, "Version du paquet",Version(control.get_software_version()))
            if Version(soft["version"]) == Version(control.get_software_version()):

                print(Timelog,"La bonne version est deja installée")

            else:
                print(Timelog,"Installing: SVGView.exe")
                run(r'SVGView.exe /qn')
                #run("Setup.bat")
                #install_exe_if_needed('SVGView.exe',

Hello,
The difference between the two is that PyScripter is launched as administrator, while the package deployment via the agent is launched as the system account. It's quite possible that it's trying to install things in AppData, which isn't available to the system account. You'd need to find a flag to install it SystemWide (e.g., for executables, usually /ALLUSERS, and for MSI files, ALLUSERS=1).

Good afternoon,
Bertrand

Hello,

Thank you for your reply.
Do you have another suggestion, as this didn't work?

Regards,
Brice
