Hello,

is there a way to list all the packages installed on a machine, along with their status and audit trail, from a setup.py file?

The idea would be to implement automatic remediation in certain cases of problematic installations.

Regards,

Good morning,

I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to do, but in one of my packages I have something like this:

Code: Select all

package_list = WAPT.installed_package_names()      # recup les paquets installés sur la machine
for package in sorted(package_list):
    WAPT.audit(package, force=False)               # fait un audit du paquet pour chaque paquet présent dans la liste

After all that, it's already visible in the WAPT console.

Commander.

Hello,

this doesn't allow me to obtain the status.

The idea is, for example, I want to install Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022, but since Windows is such a great tool, the MSI installation requires uninstalling the old one, but the installation file has since been deleted.

The installer therefore crashes. It's impossible to uninstall, same problem, so I have to clear the registry to make Windows forget the presence of this installation and thus perform a new one.
This type of situation occurs very often with many products.

By creating a mediation package, I list all the current errors and launch a remediation. In this example, clearing the registry allows for a successful installation.

Currently, we have this in the console, and we do it manually. But with 10,000 workstations to manage, 450 of which have errors, it quickly becomes unsustainable.
We have everything, from KeePassXC, Seafile, Jabra, etc.
Some errors are due to our previous solution and don't appear on machines installed with WAPT.

In short, the idea is to manage everything as automatically as possible without constantly monitoring the machines.
Keep in mind that a fixed machine doesn't mean the problem won't reappear with the next update. It largely depends on the installers (often very well coded!

).

This is very interesting because I have just spent quite a bit of time trying to find a solution for the Nextcloud client which is producing quite a few errors of this type.
I only fixed this package with try catch blocks, but your idea of a general remediation package is not bad, I'll subscribe to the topic if a solution comes up.
I'm purging this from the registry:

Code: Select all

HKLM\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{guid}
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer\Products\{guid_key_wininstaller}

Good morning,

By "status", does it mean if the package is in "OK"/"WARNING"/"ERROR"?

If that's the case, then perhaps try this:

Code: Select all

package = WAPT.is_installed('nom_de_votre_paquet')
package_status = package['install_status']                          # recupère si status OK/WARNING/ERROR

A simple print statement should display the status:

Code: Select all

print(package_status)

but you can then do, for example, a

Code: Select all

if package_status == 'ERROR' : 
       ce que vous voulez faire ensuite

Edit: Of course, the package in question must already be present on the machine.

There may be a simpler way, but this works to get a list of packages whose installation failed.

Code: Select all

for package in WAPT.waptdb.installed_packages_inventory():
        if package[5] == 'ERROR':
            print(package[1])

It remains to try and correct it by figuring out what to correct

It's still being tested here, but this is what it looks like

I keep a json file in memory of all the packets attempted so that only one attempt is made.

So far, this is yielding good results

A small update with the latest findings.

Published: **May 7, 2026 - 2:06 PM**

A slightly more final version. Currently, roughly 75% of the error-prone workstations on our network have been automatically corrected with this package.
Among other things, by fixing the problems with tis-vcredist2015-2022, on which many packages have a dependency.
