ERROR: Uninstall Key is not in Windows Registry.

Here is the code:

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

uninstallkey = ['']

def install():
mercure_soft = 'mercureVPN-gui-1.0.9b-fr.exe'
DirMercure = makepath(programfiles32,'Mercure VPN','Uninstall.exe')

# We test if Mercure VPN is installed
for soft in installed_softwares(u'Mercure VPN 1.1b'):
# If the Mercure VPN process is running, we kill it
if isrunning(mercure_soft):
print("closing %s" % mercure_soft)
killalltasks(mercure_soft)

# Uninstall using the key
print('uninstalling Mercure VPN')
run(r'"%s" /S' % DirMercure)

Could the problem stem from the quotes that exist in uninstallkey = [''] ?

Hello Patrice

There might also be a problem with your script.

You install and then uninstall your software, using the same procedure "def install():"

So, since the package is correctly deployed and executed, it reports that the UninstallKey is missing because you uninstalled the software right after installing it.

In my opinion, if you go to a workstation, you should see that the Mercure software is not installed, but it is marked as green in your console with an audit in red.

Sincerely.

Vincent
