Hello everyone,

I am experiencing problems uninstalling OFFICE 2013 Standard via WAPT.
I've tried different ways to uninstall everything, but I can't manage it.

First, via the uninstallkey:
I retrieved the UID via wapt-get list-registry, which gave me quite a few, but when I try to uninstall it from PyScripter it doesn't work (return:

Code: Select all

Ligne de Commande : uninstall "C:\waptdev\Office2013Std_32bits-wapt\WAPT\.."
Uninstalling C:\waptdev\Office2013Std_32bits-wapt ...
None
Uninstallation done)
The uninstallkey looks like this:

Code: Select all

uninstallkey = ['{90150000-002A-0000-1000-0000000FF1CE}','{90150000-002A-040C-1000-0000000FF1CE}','Office15.STANDARD','Office2013Std_32bits','{90150000-0012-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}','{90150000-001F-0401-0000-0000000FF1CE}','{90150000-001F-0407-0000-0000000FF1CE}','{90150000-001F-0409-0000-0000000FF1CE}','{90150000-001F-040C-0000-0000000FF1CE}','{90150000-001F-0413-0000-0000000FF1CE}','{90150000-001F-0C0A-0000-0000000FF1CE}','{90150000-002C-040C-0000-0000000FF1CE}','{90150000-006E-040C-0000-0000000FF1CE}','{90150000-00E1-040C-0000-0000000FF1CE}','{90150000-00E2-040C-0000-0000000FF1CE}']
I also tried using the uninstallstring, and I get the same message as with the uninstallkey:

Code: Select all

Ligne de Commande : uninstall "C:\waptdev\Office2013Std_32bits-wapt\WAPT\.."
Uninstalling C:\waptdev\Office2013Std_32bits-wapt ...

Uninstallation done)
The uninstallstring looks like this:

Code: Select all

uninstallstring =['"C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\OFFICE15\Office Setup Controller\Setup.exe /uninstall Standard /config silent.xml"']
I tried using an uninstall() function that displays the contents of uninstallstring:

Code: Select all

def uninstall():
    print("Desinstallation d\'Office")
    run('"C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\OFFICE15\Office Setup Controller\Setup.exe /uninstall Standard /config silent.xml"')
back:

Exit code:  3

The installation goes very well, it is completely transparent, the MSP file is in the right place, same for the silent.xml file.
When I run the following command in a shell, it works perfectly and silently....

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\OFFICE15\Office Setup Controller\Setup.exe /uninstall Standard /config silent.xml
I tried different things, I tried passing my paths via a variable in "raw":

Code: Select all

r"C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\OFFICE15\Office Setup Controller\Setup.exe /uninstall Standard /config silent.xml" 
The result is the same, yet I thought I understood that the "r" or the act of surrounding the expression with "expression" escaped the spaces and slashes...
I also tried using the "pathlib" library, but it's not integrated into WAPT, and I couldn't get it to work.

I've included my entire setup.py file below in case it gives you some ideas, but there's nothing particularly original about it compared to the various topics on OFFICE that can be found in the forums :)
Thanks in advance!

You need to specify the full path to the silent.xml file since it's not in the same directory as setup.exe. Alternatively, you need to define the working directory.

Good morning,

Thank you for the quick reply, I managed to find a starting point for a solution!
It works well locally on the server directly (installation/uninstallation)

Here is the code:

Code: Select all

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from setuphelpers import *
import time

uninstallkey = []
softname = 'Microsoft Office Standard 2013'

def install():

    def killsoft():
      for soft in ('WINWORD.EXE','POWERPNT.EXE','EXCEL.exe','MSPUB.EXE','MSACCESS.EXE','INFOPATH.EXE','lync.exe','ONENOTE.EXE','OUTLOOK.EXE','ONENOTEM.EXE','MSOSYNC.EXE','GROOVE.EXE'):
        if isrunning(soft):
           print ("Fermeture de %s" % soft)
           killalltasks(soft)

    if not installed_softwares(softname):
        open(makepath(programfiles32,'silent.xml'), "w" ).write(silentxml)
        print('Installation d\' Office 2013')
        cmd = '"C:\waptdev\Office2013Std_32bits-wapt\Microsoft Office 2013 32bits\setup.exe" /adminfile "setup.msp"'
        remove_file(makepath(programfiles32,'silent.xml'))
    else:
        print('Reparation d\'Office 2013')
        cmd = '"C:\waptdev\Office2013Std_32bits-wapt\Microsoft Office 2013 32bits\setup.exe" /repair Standard /config silent.xml"'


    killsoft()
    run(cmd,timeout=1200,accept_returncodes=[1641,3010,0])

    if not installed_softwares(softname):
            error('%s : clef de desinstallation non trouvée',softname)

def uninstall():
    open(makepath(programfiles32,'silent.xml'), "w" ).write(silentxml)
    print("Desinstallation d\'Office")
    run('"%s" /uninstall Standard /config "%s"' % (makepath(programfiles32,'Common Files','microsoft shared','OFFICE15','Office Setup Controller','Setup.exe'),makepath(programfiles32,'silent.xml')),timeout=1200)
    remove_file(makepath(programfiles32,'silent.xml'))

silentxml = ur"""<Configuration Product="Standard">
<Display Level="none" CompletionNotice="no" SuppressModal="yes" AcceptEula="yes" />
   <Setting Id="SETUP_REBOOT" Value="NEVER" />
</Configuration>"""

However, once built and uploaded, when I try to install it on a remote machine, I get an error message:

Further to my previous message, I would like to clarify that the fact that I specify the full path to setup.exe:

Code: Select all

cmd = '"C:\waptdev\Office2013Std_32bits-wapt\Microsoft Office 2013 32bits\setup.exe" /adminfile "setup.msp"'
This is because if I put setup.exe by itself, I get a message telling me that setup.exe is not found.
For your information, here is the directory structure of my package:
Capture.PNG
Capture.PNG (34.91 KB) Viewed 7290 times
The setup file is in the root directory, and I've also copied it to the WAPT folder and then to the Microsoft Office 2013 32-bit folder. So I'm having a little trouble understanding where the working directory of the Python script is... could someone please help me? :)

Could the fact that the path is hardcoded in the script be generating the above error?

Furthermore, to try and be as thorough as possible, here is my package displayed in the console:
Capture2.PNG
Capture2.PNG (31.03 KB) Viewed 7290 times
I get the message when I right-click on a host / Add a dependency / I check the package and then I click on launch installations.
(I'm mentioning this in case I make a mistake) :) )


Finally, here is the package's control file:

Thank you so much... have a good evening

This is because if I put setup.exe by itself, I get a message telling me that setup.exe is not found.
The setup.py script is executed in a temporary directory with a randomly generated directory name. If the installer needs a full execution path, I should be able to use something like:

Code: Select all

import os 
dir_path = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))
In your case:

Code: Select all

cmd = '"%s\setup.exe" /adminfile "%s\setup.msp"' % (dir_path,dir_path)

Good morning,

Sorry for the slightly long response time...
Thank you for your reply

After testing, it appears that this does not work any better:

I get this message when deploying the package on Windows 7 with Office 2010 installed:

    remove_file(makepath(programfiles32,'silent.xml'))


The files setup.exe / setup.MSP / silent.xml are located in the root of the office package along with setup.py and all office folders.
I confess I'm having a little trouble understanding the problem I'm having :)

thanks in advance,

Sincerely



EDIT: and I confirm that a folder in windows/temp/XXXX is indeed created on the client machine, with all the office files present in the package on the server (setup.msp, setup.py, silent.xml + all the office folders)
