Hello,
version 1.8.2.72767.
I want to install a package for an EBP management software suite for my business. The vendor gave me a command line:
`EBPOL_2020_LigneOL_Compta_12_3_1_8211.exe /s NETWORK=TRUE PERSONALIZED=TRUE WEBCHECKED=FALSE`.

When I install it with this command: `run(r'EBPOL_2020_LigneOL_Compta_12_3_1_8211.exe /s NETWORK=TRUE PERSONALIZED=TRUE WEBCHECKED=FALSE')

`, it doesn't work with the system account. Indeed, from the PyScripter console, the installation works if I'm logged in as administrator, but if I deploy it with the system account, it doesn't work.
I've set the Waptservice to .\administrator, and that works. But after reading various forum posts, this raises a security concern, and furthermore, I have to run it on all the machines (approximately 250 machines, which is tedious).

In addition, I can't get the command `run_as_admin(r'EBPOL_2020_LigneOL_Compta_12_3_1_8211.exe /s NETWORK=TRUE PERSONALIZED=TRUE WEBCHECKED=FALSE') to work. PyScripter returns an error every time.
Command line: install "c:\waptdev\ader-test-wapt\WAPT\.."

only if this could solve my problem. Finally, the run_as_administrator command doesn't exist as mentioned in some posts?

Thank you very much for your help,
Eric

The printing function (i.e., the equivalent of sudo in Linux) is quite temperamental in Windows. A fairly deterministic option is to create a scheduled task to run immediately, but frankly, it would be much easier to have a working sudo command...
