Hello everyone.
My first question is: Is it possible to create packages using a VBScript?
If so, I'm having trouble because I'm getting an error message.

My command line is:
C:\>wapt-get make-template C:\waptdev\xxxx-xxxxx-FusionInventoryAgent\fusioninventory-agent-deployment-xx.vbs xx-FusionInventoryAgent.

The x's represent regular characters, not special characters, just lowercase and uppercase letters and numbers.

The error message is:
FATAL ERROR: TypeError: not enough arguments for format string.

Do you have any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

You need to create an empty template
then copy the VBScript into the package development directory
then modify the installation procedure in setup.py to call the VBScript

Code: Select all

wapt-get make-template xx-fusioninventoryagent

Copy the VBScript to c:\waptdev\xx-fusioninventoryagent-wapt

Code: Select all

from setuphelpers import *

def install():
    with disable_file_system_redirection():
        run('WScript.exe "fusioninventory-agent-deployment-xx.vbs"')

then build and sign the package

Code: Select all

wapt-get -i build-upload c:\waptdev\xx-fusioninventoryagent-wapt
