Hello,
I'm trying to install SolidWorks 2018 SP5 using WAPT.
I created an administrative image of SolidWorks.
In my administrative image, I have an executable file (wininstall.exe). If I run it (on a standalone machine), a message appears saying that the automatic installation will start in 5 minutes, which is indeed the case.

So I use this file to create my package in WAPT (generate a package template).
I also copy the various directories and files from the administrative image to c:\program files\waptdev\solidworks.
I launch the installation from PyScripter (install and run). I still get the message "the automatic installation will start in 5 minutes." It works, everything installs.

So I create my package.

I then copy my newly created file, solidworks.wapt, to my server using WinSCP, change the permissions, and run wapt-scanpackages.

From the console, I choose a (virtual) machine on which to deploy SolidWorks.
The solidworks.wapt file is copied to the machine, the installation begins (still the same message).
The dependencies are installed (apparently all of them: Bonjour, Visual Basic, etc.).
In the c:\program directory, a "solidworks corps" folder appears, starts to fill up, and then suddenly disappears.
I don't understand what's happening at all.

Debian 9 server
, Wapt 1.7.3.

Did you set a sufficiently long timeout parameter in the command that launches the SolidWorks installation?
After how long does the process stop?

Hello,

I added a `timeout=10000` parameter to the command line


: `def install():
print('installing ader-solidworks-startswinstall')
install_exe_if_needed("startswinstall.exe",'/VERYSILENT',key='',min_version='26.5.0.0066',timeout=10000)`.


Without the timeout, the installation gave me an error.

Now with the timeout, I no longer get an error, but the installation doesn't complete.
I think the installation stops after about half an hour. As I mentioned before, the dependencies are installed automatically.
In C:\Program Files, a `solidworks corps` directory is created, starts to fill up, then suddenly disappears and nothing happens.

Thank you.

Hello,
I'm back with my SolidWorks problem.
I've set up a new WAPT server, still running Debian 9.8.
I recreated my SolidWorks package using the console (I launched it by clicking "install" and then "execute" in the PyScrypter: it worked).

However, when I try to install it through the console, it doesn't work.

In the console I have the following error messages:

Kind regards

I forgot to mention.
Wapt version: 1.7.3 on Debian 9.8
. The console is on Windows 7 Pro.
All installations were also performed on Windows 7 Pro.

There appears to be a problem downloading:

EWaptDownloadError: Package file ader-solidworks2018-sp05_26.5.0.66-1_x64_PROD.wapt not downloaded properly.

You should try downloading it manually to see if that works.

Hello,

sorry for the delay.
I solved my problem by working around it.
I created an MSI package from my executable and everything installed perfectly.

Thank you.

Best regards
