Good morning,

WAPT Enterprise Edition version 2.4.0.14143.
Debian 12 Server
Console on Windows 10

When I try to install the tis-ltspice 17.1.15.0-13 package (from the wapt store) I get the following error:

Code: Select all

Copying: examples.zip to C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\LTspice

The following error appears in the LTspice64.log file:

C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\LTspice\examples.zip
CustomAction AI_ExpandArchConfig returned actual error code 1603 (note this may not be 100% accurate if translation happened inside sandbox)

However, I can clearly see both zip files in the folder C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\LTspice:

examples.zip
lib.zip

The system account has full control over the path.

No problem when the package is run in debug mode (with the admin account)

Hello,

I'm following up on this topic because I'm still having the problem.

Regards,

Sébastien.

Hi Sébastien,

sorry for the delayed response, there is indeed a bug. When I first read it, I didn't see why it would have gone through LUTI, so I thought it was an issue with your infrastructure. But I just realized that this package installs via LUTI as Administrator but not as LOCAL SYSTEM...

The WAPT service runs as LOCAL SYSTEM but not as Administrator. And the LOCAL SYSTEM account doesn't have a user profile, and the installer (which undoubtedly falls into the category of podoware [1]) is trying to create a file in the %APPDATA% of the current user...

Simon is looking into it.

Hello,
Just so you know, a fix was recently released; it's version 16 and should permanently resolve error 1603.
