Good morning,

I'm trying to create a package to uninstall the old antivirus via a registry key, but there are several different versions, therefore several registry keys.
I want it to check the registry keys and if it exists it uninstalls it and if it does not exist it moves on to the next one and at the end install the new anti-virus and if it is x64 install the 64-bit version or if it is an x86 operating system install the 32-bit version.
Attached is the script I started writing but it's not working.
Thank you in advance to anyone who can help me.

Good morning,

Note that in your script you have defined the function def install() twice:
You also use the /q parameter twice for uninstallation, that strikes me as odd!

Personally, I would try with the code below:
It will check all installed versions of a given software (name=blabla), compare them to see if the version is lower than the version of the package to be installed, and automatically launch the uninstallation from the uninstallkey. If the uninstallkey is not silent, the run() command must be adapted

Code: Select all

   # Uninstalling older versions of the software
    for to_uninstall in installed_softwares(name=r"lenomdemonantivirus"):
        if Version(to_uninstall["version"]) < Version(package_version) or force:
            print("Removing: %s (%s)" % (to_uninstall["name"], to_uninstall["version"]))
            killalltasks(control.impacted_process.split(","))
            run(uninstall_cmd(to_uninstall["key"]))
            wait_uninstallkey_absent(to_uninstall["key"])

Hello,

thank you for your quick reply.

I apologize for forgetting to provide some information.
I'm uninstalling the old ESET antivirus to install TREND Micro antivirus, and to uninstall all previous versions of ESET, I absolutely must use the registry key with the admin password for uninstalling the antivirus because ESET uninstalls in safe mode via the uninstaller.
Each agent and each ESET version has its own registry key depending on the version installed.
Again, sorry.
