MSI package update

Good morning,

I'm trying to update an MSI package (it's Flowcode, https://flowcode.co.uk/download/ )

(The previous version of the package is correctly installed with wapt)

The line:

Code: Select all

install_msi_if_needed('FlowcodeV9_Installer.msi')
It gives me an error; in fact, if the software is already installed, it does not update it. I do not get an error when the old version is not installed.

I imagine Wapt can't detect that the versions differ, or have I forgotten an argument? I tried adding:

Code: Select all

install_msi_if_needed('FlowcodeV9_Installer.msi', remove_old_version=true)
and I also tried adding a def update_package() section, but it didn't change anything.

Thank you for your help ;)

WAPT 1.3.5 ?

I kindly suggest you update, as you won't find many people with answers to your question.

Thank you for your reply.

Unfortunately, I don't have access to the server; otherwise, I would have updated it. :roll:
