[SOLVED] Package to install "Epson Scan 2"

[cg_heuliez]

Hello,
We have Epson WF3825 printers in our fleet.
I would like to create a WAPT package that installs the scanning utility: "Epson Scan 2". It can be downloaded here: https://download.epson-europe.com/pub/d ... 8779eu.exe
The problem is that I can't find a silent installation option; even after unzipping the .exe file.
I'm starting to think that silent installation isn't possible... I've tried all the known switches: /VERYSILENT; /Q; /N... but without success.
So, if silent installation isn't possible, is there a way around this?
Thank you for your replies; if there are any. Have
a good evening!

Hi Benoit,

printer driver installers are often executable zip files with a command line that launches after extraction.

You can extract the file with 7-Zip and test the silent installation flags on the setup.exe file inside to see if it works.

Alternatively, you can launch printer driver installations directly by pointing to the .inf files, but I don't remember the exact command line.

Regards,

Denis

Good morning,
A solution has been found here:
https://www.itninja.com/question/epson-scanner-software

Install:

Code: Select all

Setup.exe /SI -sms /Nodisp

Uninstall:

Code: Select all

 "C:\Program Files (x86)\epson\escndv\setup\setup.exe" /r -sms /Nodisp

First, you need to extract the contents of epson668779eu.exe with 7zip in order to execute the first command.
We should be able to package it (with 7zip as a dependency).

Good day,
Bertrand

Thank you; the installation line works. Now all that's left is to package it in the WAPT package!

[blemoigne]

Code: Select all

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from setuphelpers import *

def install():
    unzip("epson668779eu.exe")
    setupexe = glob.glob('*/*/Setup.exe')[0]
    install_exe_if_needed(setupexe, "/SI -sms /Nodisp",key='Epson Scan 2',min_version='')
    register_uninstall('Epson Scan 2', quiet_uninstall_string='"C:\Program Files (x86)\epson\Epson Scan 2\Setup\setup.exe" /r -sms /Nodisp')

Thank you; but it wasn't a request.
I managed to get the package myself.
