Tranquil IT Forum

Good morning,

- Installed WAPT version: 1.5.1.18 Community
- Linux Debian 9 server OS
- Operating system of the administration/package creation machine: Windows 10

I downloaded the 32-bit version of Visio Viewer from the Microsoft website.
I create the package in wapt, I launch the installation, I retrieve the uninstallkey (with wapt-get list-registry), I enter it in setup.py and I recreate the package.
I'm installing the package on a 64-bit Windows 10 system. The application installs correctly, but I get a warning: After doing some research in the registry, I noticed that the uninstall key is not in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\ but in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\

How do I tell Wapt where to look for the key in the right place?

THANKS

Normally, Wapt searches in both locations by default

However, you seem to have forgotten the curly braces in the uninstallkey...

It might indeed be because I wrote it like this: uninstallkey = ['95160000-0052-040C-0000-0000000FF1CE']

But it's written like this in the documentation: https://www.wapt.fr/wapt-1.5/CreationPa ... index.html

I'll try with your syntax.

It works much better immediately with the correct syntax

Good evening Benoît,

In fact, you need to copy exactly the same string of characters as what's in the output of the `wapt-get list-registry` command. There are keys with curly braces and keys without, some are GUIDs, others are strings... If it were too simple, it wouldn't be fun I added a note on the relevant doc page to emphasize that the string of characters must be copied exactly as it is.

Happy Easter weekend!
