Problem installing the Home I/O installation package

[mickael.lombard]

Hello everyone,

I am experiencing a problem installing the Home I/O software.
Here is my script:

Code: Select all

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

uninstallkey = []

def install():
    print('installing langevin-home-io')
    install_exe_if_needed("homeio-1.5.0-installer.exe",'--unattendedmodeui none --mode unattended',key='',min_version='1.5.0')
    filecopyto('paul-langevin.lic','C:\Program Files (x86)\Real Games\Home IO')

When I install from PyScripter on my test machine, everything is OK. If I run the installation on another machine using the `wapt-get install` command, it also works. However, if I link the package to another machine, the installation fails and I get the following error message:

installing langevin-home-io
[Error 32] The process cannot access the file because this file is used by another process: 'c:\\temp\\waptensxp2\\homeio-1.5.0-installer.exe'

On closer inspection, the installation is completed almost to the end but remains frozen at the end.
I have two ideas but I don't know how to implement them:
1) The application tries to connect to the internet but since no user is connected my proxy is blocking it -> how do I configure a proxy in a WAPT package?
2) User files are copied at the end and the package fails to write where it should (I tried launching the WAPT service with a local and domain administrator account, but that didn't change anything)

What do you think?
Thank you in advance

Good morning,
If it helps, here's my code which successfully installs Home IO on my student computers, without requiring any proxy credentials:

Code: Select all

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

uninstallkey = []
uninstallstring = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Real Games\Home IO\uninstall.exe"
global destdir
destdir = makepath(programfiles32,'Real Games','Home IO')

def install():
    print('Installation de dst-home-io-distrame')
    install_exe_if_needed("homeio-1.5.0-installer.exe",' --unattendedmodeui none --mode unattended --installer-language fr',key='Home I/O',min_version='1.5.0')

    print(ur'Copie de la licence 2019')
    if isdir(destdir):
        filecopyto("lycee-professionnel.lic",destdir)
    else:
        error(ur'Dossier Home IO introuvable')

    print('Raccourci dans dossier Logiciels sur bureau public')
    if not isdir(makepath(common_desktop(),ur'Logiciels',ur'Elec - Automatisme')):
        mkdirs(makepath(common_desktop(),ur'Logiciels',ur'Elec - Automatisme'))
    create_shortcut(makepath(common_desktop(),ur'Logiciels',ur'Elec - Automatisme',ur'Home IO.lnk'),target=r'%s\Real Games\Connect IO\Connect IO.exe' %programfiles32, wDir=r'%s\Real Games\Connect IO\\' %programfiles32,icon=r'%s\Real Games\Connect IO\Connect IO.exe' %programfiles32)
    create_shortcut(makepath(common_desktop(),ur'Logiciels',ur'Elec - Automatisme',ur'Bewatest.lnk'),target=r'%s\Real Games\Connect IO\Connect IO.exe' %programfiles32, wDir=r'%s\Real Games\Connect IO\\' %programfiles32,icon=r'%s\Real Games\Connect IO\Connect IO.exe' %programfiles32)
    remove_desktop_shortcut('Home IO')
    remove_desktop_shortcut('Connect IO')

def uninstall():
    print('Suppression de Home et Connect IO')
    if isfile(makepath(common_desktop(),ur'Logiciels',ur'Elec - Automatisme',ur'Connect IO.lnk')):
        remove_file(makepath(common_desktop(),ur'Logiciels',ur'Elec - Automatisme',ur'Connect IO.lnk'))
    if isfile(makepath(common_desktop(),ur'Logiciels',ur'Elec - Automatisme',ur'Home IO.lnk')):
        remove_file(makepath(common_desktop(),ur'Logiciels',ur'Elec - Automatisme',ur'Home IO.lnk'))

def session_setup():
    remove_user_desktop_shortcut('Home IO')
    remove_user_desktop_shortcut('Connect IO')

PS: There is surely another way to specify the software installation directory without hardcoding it, but I hadn't found it.

Thank you so much for your message, I just saw it.
I just created a new package according to your settings, but unfortunately, it behaves exactly the same way. There must be something different on my machines.

I'm replying late (I just experienced this)

The problem is really very strange; the problem occurs with installers of the installbuilder type

Basically, you have to launch it once, then launch it again so that it launches correctly in silent mode.

Here's a snippet of code to solve the problem

Code: Select all

    
def install():
    filename = 'FreeStyleLibreInstaller-EU_7196.exe'
    versionpaquet = control['version'].split('-',1)[0]
    try:
        install_exe_if_needed(makepath(basedir,filename),'--installer-language fr --mode unattended --unattendedmodeui none',key='FreeStyle Libre %s' % versionpaquet,min_version=versionpaquet,timeout=30)
    except:
        killalltasks(filename)
        time.sleep(2)
        install_exe_if_needed(makepath(basedir,filename),'--installer-language fr --mode unattended --unattendedmodeui none',key='FreeStyle Libre %s' % versionpaquet,min_version=versionpaquet,timeout=60)
