Problem creating package with windows_version()

[neckatskin]

Good morning,

I'm having trouble with Python when installing proprietary software. It's a specific type of software, with installers of different types (sometimes .exe, sometimes .msi) that also vary depending on the operating system. I want to use the `iswin64()` and `windows_version()` functions to identify which installer to use during deployment. My problem is this: it doesn't seem to identify the specific OS version and always chooses the installer for the Windows 7 x86 version (which is what happens in my "else" statement).

The problem seems to be coming from windows_version(), having already used iswin64() without any problems before.
Could you shed some light on the problem?

Thank you in advance for your answers.

Regards,

Your code looks correct.

You can add:

Code: Select all

print windows_version()

to check the version of the device.

In my opinion, the problem comes from the

Code: Select all

==

Thank you, the "print" command did indeed point me in the right direction: I was able to see that my Windows 10 version was actually exactly 10.0.14393.
As you said, the "==" was therefore irrelevant. So I modified the first part, using ">=" for 10.0 for Win 10 and ">=" for Win7 x64 for ".

It works perfectly, thanks again for the help, problem solved

To complete the process,

you need to add the program's uninstall key to the `key` argument of `install_exe_if_needed`. It's currently empty !

To retrieve the key:

Then add it as an argument to the `install_exe_if_needed` function
