[SOLVED] Creating packages with an .exe

Good morning,

Having very specific software to deploy within my company, I am forced to create the packages manually.
So I followed the documentation meticulously - however I still encounter a problem.
Everything works correctly with .msi packages.
But with .exe files, from what I've seen, we absolutely have to use the setup.py file to make changes (like the uninstallation key). The developer side isn't a problem, and the documentation is quite extensive on that. However, contrary to what I've seen, I'm missing some methods in the setup.py file:
  • remove
  • upgrade
  • -i build-upload
  • svn update
For those that are present, they are simply fueled by comments.
Is this normal? How can I fix the problem?

For your information, I tried with PyScripter and Visual Studio Code. The development directory was on a network drive; I tried it locally, but there was no change.

WAPT Server version: 1.8.2 Community
Console installed on a 64-bit Windows 10 system
Debian 10 Buster Server

Sincerely,

elelay

Having received no response, I continued searching.
I don't know why, but when PyScripter opens, the project file isn't opened automatically; it has to be opened manually each time.
This explains why I was missing the various method calls...
