Good morning,

We are gradually deploying WAPT across our entire network. For now, we're rolling out the client alone without updates, but once they're all in the console, we'll start rolling out the updates.

Of the few tests carried out so far, I'm stuck on two points:
  • The downloaded version of Firefox is x86
  • Flash cannot be updated (uninstallation key error)
Regarding the first point, I took a look at setup.py. It mentions x86 several times (even programfiles32). Unfortunately, I suppose simply renaming x86 (or 32) to 64 isn't enough?

Regarding Flash, is it (and ultimately, other software) necessary for it to be installed by WAPT in order to be updated via the client?

Thank you for your help ;)

Good morning

To my knowledge, there's a problem with the Flash package if the version of Flash currently installed on the machine wasn't installed with the MSI file. You should try removing it with the official Flash uninstaller if Flash is detected as installed without the MSI. I'll look into doing that; I did it with this package before:
https://wapt.lesfourmisduweb.org/detail ... 1_all.wapt

I will probably use the same example and integrate it into the official package.

For Firefox, it is intentional that it is x86, but you can modify the package according to your needs to install it according to the architecture.

Here's a small example:

It all depends on the software ;)
