Problem testing an MS Office 2010 package

Good morning,
I'm creating a new topic even though one already exists, but I'm a complete beginner in Python, and from what I understand, the code needs to be modified depending on our specific situations. Therefore, I would appreciate some clarification.
So first, I created an MS Office 2010 template with the setup.exe file. When I double-click on it without WAPT, it performs a silent installation of the MS Office suite. Using the folder created with `wapt-get make-template`, I tried `wapt-get install`, but I encountered the following problem:

Code: Select all

C:\Users\Administrateur>wapt-get install C:\waptdev\ARS-microsoftsetupbootstrapper-wapt
Installing WAPT file C:\waptdev\ARS-microsoftsetupbootstrapper-wapt
installing ARS-microsoftsetupbootstrapper
2016-04-26 11:54:37,994 CRITICAL Fatal error in install script: CalledProcessError: Command '('"setup.exe" /VERYSILENT',)' returned non-zero exit status 2:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\wapt\common.py", line 3178, in install_wapt
    exitstatus = setup.install()
  File "C:\waptdev\ARS-microsoftsetupbootstrapper-wapt\setup.py", line 8, in install
    run(r'"setup.exe" /VERYSILENT')
  File "C:\wapt\common.py", line 3025, in run
    return setuphelpers.run(*arg,pidlist=self.pidlist,**args)
  File "C:\wapt\setuphelpers.py", line 1020, in run
    raise subprocess.CalledProcessError(proc.returncode,cmd,''.join(output))
CalledProcessError: Command '('"setup.exe" /VERYSILENT',)' returned non-zero exit status 2

FATAL ERROR : CalledProcessError: Command '('"setup.exe" /VERYSILENT',)' returned non-zero exit status 2

I read that I need to add lines of code to check if the program isn't already installed, the license activated, etc. The problem is, I don't know which file to look in. In waptdev, I have four files: setup.py, setup.exe, control, and wapt.psproj
I tried to download an MS Office 2013 package from theantsoftheweb I tried to compare the files but I don't see any difference, and the installation doesn't work either.
I also tried with an .msi file (excel, word...) but I got another error (code 1603).
I work on a Windows Server 2012 R2 under VMware, I also have 2 Win7 (physical) workstations at my disposal.
If someone could even just point me in the right direction, it would be of great help.
THANKS

Can you send your setup.py file?

I don't see any line with the msp file:

Code: Select all

'"setup.exe" /adminfile "silent.msp"'

Code: Select all

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

uninstallkey = []

def install():
    print('installing ARS-microsoftsetupbootstrapper')
    run(r'"setup.exe" /VERYSILENT')

I haven't changed anything in it; the silent installation happens automatically with setup.exe without wapt.

In this case you can remove VERYSILENT

In my opinion, this is a parameter not supported by setup.exe

In any case, to be sure, you can use the Windows command line to run:

Code: Select all

cd C:\waptdev\ARS-microsoftsetupbootstrapper-wapt

Then one:

Code: Select all

setup.exe /VERYSILENT

But in my opinion, that won't work.

However, just a setup.exe will work

Explanation :
During the make-template process, wapt will automatically add /VERYSILENT for an executable file because it's a fairly standard flag for executables. However, sometimes this flag doesn't work, so you'll need to modify it and edit the setup.py file to make it work.

I'm still getting the same message. I modified setup.py as follows:

Code: Select all

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

uninstallkey = []

def install():
    print('installing ARS-microsoftsetupbootstrapper')
    run("setup.exe")

Not to mention wapt:

What does a: return?

Code: Select all

cd C:\waptdev\ARS-microsoftsetupbootstrapper-wapt

Then :

Code: Select all

setup.exe

?

If that doesn't work, could you try the first method I suggested?

Windows command line:

Code: Select all

setup.exe /adminfile silent.msp

Line for setup.py:

Code: Select all

cmd = '"setup.exe" /adminfile "silent.msp"'
run(cmd,timeout=1200,accept_returncodes=[1641,3010,0])

Place the silent.msp file next to setup.exe.

Good morning,
So I tried to navigate to the directory and then run setup.exe /VERYSILENT from the command line, but the error message I showed in the image in my first message still appears.
So I tried

Code: Select all

setup.exe /adminfile silent.msp

always in the same directory, and always the same error message.
After modifying my setup.py

Code: Select all

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

uninstallkey = []
def install():

cmd = '"setup.exe" /adminfile "silent.msp"'
run(cmd,timeout=1200,accept_returncodes=[1641,3010,0])

When I go through WAPT, I get the following error

Code: Select all

C:\Users\Administrateur>wapt-get install C:\waptdev\ARS-microsoftsetupbootstrapper-wapt
Installing WAPT file C:\waptdev\ARS-microsoftsetupbootstrapper-wapt

You have an indentation error:

You need to move it below def install

Code: Select all

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

uninstallkey = []
def install():

   cmd = '"setup.exe" /adminfile "silent.msp"'
   run(cmd,timeout=1200,accept_returncodes=[1641,3010,0])

Good morning,
Thank you, indeed I have just corrected it.
I keep getting the same error message:

If I'm not mistaken, exit 2 generally corresponds to:

The system cannot find the file specified. Indicates that the file cannot be found in the specified location.

Is setup.exe present in C:\waptdev\ARS-microsoftsetupbootstrapper-wapt?

Is silent.msp present in C:\waptdev\ARS-microsoftsetupbootstrapper-wapt?

I also advise you to test with the --direct option:
