Good morning,

I am contacting you because I am facing a problem creating a WAPT package for AutoCAD Architecture 2012.

To create my package, I first made a "distribution" of AutoCAD to customize my installation.

Next, I tested the silent installation using the classic Windows command prompt with this "distribution" to see if it worked and met my requirements. It went smoothly.

So I then created my WAPT package, running the same command, and that's where the problem arose: the installation didn't work. I got an AccessDenied error from somewhere. It's probably related to the fact that WAPT installs as System and not Administrator.

If you have ever packaged AutoCAD or have any ideas on how to solve my problem, I would be very grateful.

Good morning,
The initial error appears to be code 1618 (-> another installation with MSI is already in progress).
The AccessDenied error appears to be a consequence of the initial mistake; wapt attempts to kill the process it launched if it is still "alive" when it relinquishes control. Perhaps the installer relinquishes control before it has had time to unload its workload.

The AutoCAD installer is surely quite large.
Check if the default 10-minute timeout for the "run" command is appropriate...

Otherwise, increase it with the timeout parameter=

Code: Select all

run(r'".\AdminImage\setup.exe" /qb /I wapt.ini /language fr-fr',timeout=60*60)
