Wapt Enterprise 1.6.2.7 in a Win 7 VM on a Windows 2008/R2
PyScripter 3.4.2.7 in a Win 7 VM on a Windows 10

Hello,

I am starting to develop installation packages from exe and I have a problem with file paths.
Here are some examples using Pronote 2018 (thanks to stephane2b and olaplanche):


`run(r'Install_PRNclient_FR_2018.0.2.5_win64.exe -s -f1%s\setup2018.iss' % basedir)`
or `
run(r'Install_PRNclient_FR_2018.0.2.5_win64.exe -s -f1C:\waptdev\lmr-pronote-wapt\setup2018.iss')`
or `
install_exe_if_needed("Install_PRNclient_FR_2018.0.2.5_win64.exe",silentflags= ' -s -f1%s\setup2018.iss' % basedir)`
or
`flagpronote = '-s -f1%s\setup2018.iss' % basedir`
install_exe_if_needed("Install_PRNclient_FR_2018.0.2.5_win64.exe",silentflags=flagpronote)
etc., etc., ...

all these examples result in the following error when executed in PyScripter:

FATAL ERROR: CalledProcessErrorOutput: Command 'Install_PRNclient_FR_2018.0.2.5_win64.exe -s -f1C:\\waptdev\\lmr-pronote-wapt\\setup2018.iss' returned non-zero exit status -2147213312.

I don't understand; the syntax matches what's found in the documentation, in the Pronote thread, in the source code of various packages downloaded from the Tranquil IT repository, etc.

Help!

Thanks

You must not reference files located in waptdev (you must specify the relative path).

If there is a backslash in the string you are writing, then you must add an 'r' at the beginning of the string.

In examples 1, 3, and 4, I use `basedir` with a relative path.
In example 2, I "cracked" and hardcoded the path to the PyScripter development environment to note any potential difference during testing.
I tried all the given examples with and without the `r` at the beginning, but nothing works.

`run('Install_PRNclient_FR_2018.0.2.5_win64.exe -s -f1%s\setup2018.iss' % basedir)`
and `run(r'Install_PRNclient_FR_2018.0.2.5_win64.exe -s -f1%s\setup2018.iss' % basedir)`

both generate the error `-f1C:\\waptdev\\lmr-pronote-wapt\\setup2018.iss'` during the installation test in the PyScripter environment.

Thank you.
