Good morning,

I need to create a package for installing an add-on for Excel.

Here is the code:

Code: Select all

uninstallkey = ['{278DC828-AE0E-4E99-AA49-8F68B362C90C}']

def install():
    install_exe_if_needed('SEI Excel Add-in - WIN64 - V2021R1.exe',
        key='{278DC828-AE0E-4E99-AA49-8F68B362C90C}',
        silentflags='/S /v"/qn"')
It installs and uninstalls correctly in PyScripter.
On the workstations, it displays an error 1619 which would mean a problem opening the package.
Can you help me please?

The agent runs under the system account, see the documentation. There are context differences. Check how it behaves in the command line (under the system account).

I just did the test via the task scheduler (in system account),
the software did not install and it displays error 2147944019.

you can launch it in a shell launched through

Code: Select all

psexec -i -s cmd.exe
and see if you have a more explicit error message.
For example, one problem that can arise is that LOCALSYSTEM does not have a homedir and the installer tries to create an icon on the desktop.

I just tested the installation via psexec.
There was no error message and the software did not install.
