Good morning,

I can't find a way to install kes_win.msi correctly; the installation generates a FATAL ERROR!

Fatal error: MSI kes_win.msi has been installed but the uninstall key ... can not be found

I'm using install_msi_if_needed( with the properties arguments, how can I avoid this fatal error when installing a package?

I don't know if not finding the uninstall key at the end of the installation is relevant, because I provide this key in the script, so it exists

There seems to be a problem with WAPT. This "key not found" issue dates back to 2016, and there have been no relevant answers to date on how to resolve this problem

Thank you for your feedback!
