Hello,

I created an automatically generated package to install our antivirus client.
The setup.py file only contains an install_msi_if_needed statement, and it works perfectly.
However, as there's always a however, during the last automatic antivirus update, the Uninstall Key must have changed, and WAPT can no longer find it in the registry.
I want to let the antivirus update itself automatically.

How can I tell the package not to check the Uninstall Key, or at least not to return an error if the Uninstall Key is incorrect?

Thank you in advance for your help

Sincerely,
Philippe.

WAPT Server Version: 2.0
WAPT Agent Version: 2.0.0.9450
WAPT Setup Version: 2.0.0.9450
WAPT Deploy Version: 2.0.0.9450
Database Status: OK (2.0.8.0)

Good morning,
We have a similar situation in our somewhat "mixed" management of Firefox where we still want it to update itself.
We added this to the end of the install function

Thanks for the feedback florentR2

I tried, but unfortunately, with uninstallkey.remove, it returns an error: "returned non-zero exit status 1603"

Here is the installation of my setup.py:

The error it returns is more consistent with msiexec.
Can you check after execution with a to see if he's still there?

The application is there, but with a different UninstallKey: {B8A6E157-DFE1-42EC-9F0C-F36EC0FCED63}

The key that needs to be removed is the one that Wapt can't find, I suppose

The uninstall key changes with each MSI version. It must be updated with every version change
