[SOLVED] Uninstall Key error

[Patrice_minagri]

Good morning,

I'm using a few packages that are reporting the following error in the audit:

ERROR: Uninstall Key is not in Windows Registry.

In some packages the Uninstall Key is indeed missing and I correct them to eliminate the error.

For other packages, the Uninstall Key does not exist because in some cases they are uninstallation packages, but the error is still displayed.

Is there a way to clear this error by "neutralizing" the Uninstall Key?

THANKS.

Patrice

Hello,
Could you please show us the "setup.py" file of an affected uninstallation package?

Hello Jimmy,

Here is the code:

Code: Select all

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

uninstallkey = ['']

def install():
    mercure_soft = 'mercureVPN-gui-1.0.9b-fr.exe'
    DirMercure =  makepath(programfiles32,'Mercure VPN','Uninstall.exe')

    # On teste si Mercure VPN est installé
    for soft in installed_softwares(u'Mercure VPN 1.1b'):
        # Si le processus de Mercure VPN est lancé on le tue
        if isrunning(mercure_soft):
            print ("closing %s" % mercure_soft)
            killalltasks(mercure_soft)

        # Désinstallation par la clé
        print('desinstallation de Mercure VPN')
        run(r'"%s" /S' % DirMercure)

Could the problem stem from the quotes that exist in uninstallkey = [''] ?

# We test if Mercure VPN is installed
for soft in installed_softwares(u'Mercure VPN 1.1b'):
# If the Mercure VPN process is running, we kill it
if isrunning(mercure_soft):
print("closing %s" % mercure_soft)
killalltasks(mercure_soft)

# Uninstall using the key
print('uninstalling Mercure VPN')
run(r'"%s" /S' % DirMercure)

Hello Patrice

There might also be a problem with your script.

You install and then uninstall your software, using the same procedure "def install():"

So, since the package is correctly deployed and executed, it reports that the UninstallKey is missing because you uninstalled the software right after installing it.

In my opinion, if you go to a workstation, you should see that the Mercure software is not installed, but it is marked as green in your console with an audit in red.

Sincerely.

Patrice_minagri,

there's a good chance the "uninstallkey = []" function should remain blank.
Please retest with this single change, and if the error persists, please send us the return logs.

Regards,
Jimmy
